Export Control Policy 

Vacuum pumps that pump nitrogen gas at pumping speed of 15000L/s or 
more fall under row 2(35) of appended table 1 of Japan’s  Export Trade 
Control Order, which is based on international export control regimes. 
Also, when  applying  a  refrigerator system to a cryocooler for optical 
sensors, the cryocooler falls under row 10(2) of appended table 1 of Japan’s 
Export Trade Control Order as well.   
Customers must follow all related rules and regulations such as Foreign 
Exchange and Foreign Trade Act and take appropriate procedures when 
exporting or re-exporting those products.
