Japan: Most MRL Import Violations Due to Lack of Harmonization

Of 117 violations reported in U.S. products since 2007, 75 percent of all non-compliance cases resulted from Japan’s lack of specific maximum residue limits (MRLs) for compound-commodity combinations and subsequent adoption of a default uniform MRL of 0.01 parts per million. Japan implemented its positive list system for agricultural chemicals in May 2006.
