Summary

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ordinance No. 80 of 2026, amending the Safety Standards for Road Vehicles and related rules, was promulgated on 2026-09-30, with a stated effective date of 2026-10-20. The listed target is the Rules on Fees Relating to the Road Transport Vehicle Act, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ordinance No. 17 of 2016.

Business Impact

Persons paying fees under the Road Transport Vehicle Act may be affected because the listed amendment concerns fee rules, a narrower subject than the headline vehicle safety standards; the metadata does not identify the particular fees or procedures changed.

Recommended Action

Review of the official Japanese source would help establish which fee provisions are amended and whether any transitional arrangements accompany the stated effective date.
