Background
On November 15, 2021, Commerce
Secretary Gina Raimondo and Japan’s
Ministry of Economy, Trade and
Industry (METI) Minister Koichi
Hagiuda issued a joint-statement
establishing the Japan-U.S. Commercial
and Industrial Partnership (JUCIP),
available at https://www.commerce.gov/
news/press-releases/2021/11/jointstatement-between-departmentcommerce-secretary-gina-raimondoand. Together, the United States and
Japan account for 30 percent of global
GDP, with U.S.-Japan two-way trade in
goods and services amounting to $252.2
billion in 2020. In view of this, the
JUCIP serves as a forum for the United
States and Japan to coordinate
approaches to key global trade,
economic, and technology issues, and to
deepen transpacific trade and economic
relations based on shared democratic
values.
The main goals of the JUCIP are to
strengthen the competitiveness,
resiliency, and security of both
economies; to address shared global
challenges such as climate change; and
to achieve prosperity and maintain a
free and fair economic order. The
JUCIP’s four working groups provide a
framework for promoting investment
and vitalizing cooperation between the
private sectors of both countries;
advancing innovation in areas such as
digital and advanced technologies;
promoting the resiliency of supply
chains for semiconductors, 5G, and
other vital industry segments;
strengthening collaboration in the
protection of critical technologies and
the development of infrastructure;
addressing market-distorting measures
to counter unfair trade practices; and
placing a priority on promoting the
development and use of clean energy
and related technologies. With a view to
building upon the two countries’ strong
and vibrant commercial and industrial
relationship, the Secretary and the
Minister also committed to ensuring
active stakeholder involvement and
maintaining robust engagement under
the JUCIP to achieve commercially
meaningful outcomes.

On May 4, 2022, Secretary Raimondo
and Minister Hagiuda held the first
Ministerial meeting of the JUCIP. They
reaffirmed that deeper cooperation on
commercial and industrial issues is
critical to responding to threats to the
global economic order and reviewed
progress made to date under the JUCIP.
For the Export Control Working Group,
this includes: the joint establishment of
a Work Plan on Export Control
Cooperation, which will further
strengthen technical consultations on
current and possible future legislative
and regulatory developments, sensitive
dual-use technologies, and advanced
technologies that may be used for
human rights violations or abuses;
identification of specific actions to be
considered by both sides in 2022 and
beyond, to advance export control
cooperation with a view toward
enhancing international security while
maintaining a level playing field for
industry; and joint initiation of a
process to solicit inputs from a wide
range of stakeholders from both
country’s industries on the export
control issues. On July 29, 2022, at the
first meeting of the Economic Policy
Consultative Committee held by
Secretary Gina Raimondo, Secretary of
State Anthony Blinken, Minister Koichi
Hagiuda, and Minister of Foreign Affairs
Yoshimasa Hayashi, they welcomed the
progress of, and reaffirmed, to continue
joint efforts to enhance U.S.-Japan
cooperation on export control, including
that under the JUCIP.
In furtherance of Secretary Raimondo
and Minister Hagiuda’s commitment to
ensuring active stakeholder involvement
in the JUCIP and the Export Control
Working Group’s agreement to solicit
inputs from a wide range of
stakeholders on export control issues,
the Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS) is seeking comments on ways in

dual-use export control policies and

research collaboration between Japan
and U.S. research organizations. BIS
welcomes inputs from all interested
persons to assist BIS in developing ideas
and proposals, as well as facilitate a
productive dialogue with Japan.
Comments providing specific and
concrete examples where further
convergence in U.S. and Japanese export
control practices and policies could
enhance international security and
support a global level-playing field and
joint technology development and
