According to Japanese media reports, Japan will in principle prohibit the export of high-tech products to Russia from March 18, including 31 products such as chips, communication equipment, signal processing equipment, sensors, radar, and navigation equipment, as well as 26 software/technologies. There are 57 projects in total, and the goal is to have an impact on Russia's military, shipbuilding, aerospace and other fields through cooperation with Europe and the United States.
The report said that Japan banned exports of Russian goods, basically the same as the United States and the European Union (EU). Japan's chip exports to Russia are small, and most of them are expected to be included in the control target, and the export of advanced machine tools that can be used for military purposes such as weapons, which have been strengthened for export inspection, will also be banned from the 18th.
According to reports, although chips, communication equipment and other items are included in the export ban, the export of finished products such as automobiles, smart phones, and PCs using these parts will not be banned.
In Japan's machine tool orders, the proportion of sales to Russia is less than 1%. According to data released by the Japan Machine Tool Industry Association (JMTBA), in January 2022, Japan's machine tool orders from Europe (sold to Europe) surged 89.4% to 20.412 billion yen compared with the same month last year, of which sales to Russia/other regions Orders (outside EU countries, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe) surged by 175.9% to 400 million yen.
