The Japanese Measurement Law requires that all imported products and shipping documents show metric weights and measures. Japanese law requires labels for textiles, electrical appliances and apparatus, plastic products and miscellaneous household and consumer goods. For most other products country of origin labelling is not required, except some beverages and foods which do require labelling and marking of true information. False or misleading labels displaying names of countries or flags other than the country of origin, and / or names of manufacturers or designers outside the country of origin are not permissible
