Can you believe it? Even the best quality Taiwan-made electrical appliances cannot be legally sold on Amazon Japan without proper PSE certification! For Taiwan cross-border exporters interested in exploring the Japanese market, understanding PSE certification is not only a compliance requirement, but also a key strategy to win the market.
As small electrical appliances become more practical, affordable and high-quality, more and more Taiwanese brand operators are successfully entering the international market. However, in Japan, a powerhouse of electrical appliances, product safety standards are far more stringent than you might think, and PSE certification is a mandatory safety standard for electrical products in Japan that almost all products connected to an AC power source are required to obtain.
The biggest problem is that Japan has divided the 457 regulated electrical appliances into two categories: 116 "Specified Electrical Appliances" (Category A) and 341 "Non-Specified Electrical Appliances" (Category B.) Category A products, such as AC adapters, power extension cords, etc., are considered to be of higher risk and must use the diamond-shaped PSE mark, while Category B products, such as televisions, air conditioners, and LED lamps, etc., use the round-shaped PSE mark.
To sell electrical appliances on Amazon Japan, you will need to submit information such as your company name, seller ID, ASIN listing, and the name of your manufacturing plant to the designated mailbox for application. The required documents vary depending on the product type.
For example, if you want to sell AC adaptors (Class A products), you need to provide a copy of the business case, a photo of the label, and a certificate of conformity, etc., whereas for LED lights (Class B products), you need a copy of the business case, a photo of the label, and other more simplified documents.
It is important to note that Amazon Japan completely prohibits the sale of all cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, including 18650, 14500, etc. This is an important detail that many Taiwanese sellers tend to overlook. This is an important detail that many Taiwanese sellers tend to overlook.
In addition to the basic PSE certification requirements, Amazon Japan also categorizes common electrical equipment into 7 major categories and 43 types, each with specific compliance requirements. For example, products such as wireless LAN devices and wireless chargers not only require PSE certification, but are also subject to strict control under other laws and regulations.
