【Deemed exports" in security export control】
In November 2021, with the clarification of the scope of control for "deemed exports" under the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act ("FEFTA"), some provision of sensitive technology to faculty members and students by universities and research institutions has become subject to control under the FEFTA. Consistent with this change, when applying for faculty positions or studying at the University, faculty, staff, and students will be required to submit a "Declaration of applicable specific categories" based on the "Flowchart for determining applicable specific categories."
Please download the form below and submit it.

Faculty, staff, and some students will also be required to submit a "Confirmation Form" at the time of their recruitment or admission. The "foreign organization" mentioned in the Declaration of applicable specific categories is a "Non-Japanese organization."
