In recent years of a growing tendency towards protectionism and creating
regional bloc economy, the Japanese Government is requested to attain its economic
growth in harmony with the global economy by promoting imports. For this purpose
the "Import Promotion / Domestic Investment Law" was promulgated in July 1992.
The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry
approved programmes developed by Osaka Pref., Osaka City, Kobe City, Ehime Pref.,
Kitakyushu City and Nagasaki Pref. to promote imports in local areas under the
Import Promotion Law.
It is hoped that the development of physical distribution facilities in
the Free Access Zones (FAZ) which were established based upon the approved programmes
will assure smooth distribution of imported cargoes and contribute to import
promotion.
