The webinar will focus on enhanced consumer protection measures, the specific roles of digital platform providers (DPFs), enforcement frameworks and new compliance obligations for businesses looking to sell in Japan’s regulated marketplace.
Agenda:
• Welcome & opening remarks – presented by METI
• Overview of amendments to the CPSA
• Updated safety requirements for toys for infants and young children
• Key requirements for overseas businesses:
• Responsibilities of digital platform providers (DPFs)
• Enforcement measures & penalties

• Q&A
This webinar is ideal for quality and regulatory compliance professionals operating in, or planning to enter, the Japanese market, including buyers, manufacturers, merchants and quality assurance executives.
This event will take place on August 21, 2025, at 4:00 PM (GMT +9:00).
