Japan could expand ‘strict checks’ on exports to South Korea
- Friday | 9th August, 2019
SEOUL/TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan warned it could expand strict checks on exports to South Korea, after earlier granting approval for the shipment of a high-tech material to its neighbour for the first time since imposing tighter curbs last month. Top Japanese officials said the approval followed “strict examination” and cautioned the country could consider expanding its controls beyond the three high-tech materials. Seko added that Japan does not usually announce each export approval but did so this time after South Korea described Japan’s recent curbs as an “embargo” on shipments. Japan has removed South Korea from the “white list” of countries with fast-track trade status. The curbs for three high-tech materials apply on EUV photoresists, used in producing chips based on an advanced technique known as extreme ultraviolet lithography.
