George, My understanding is that if anyone in the distribution chain is registered with the VCCI, then they are obliged to distribute VCCI compliant products. So you should check you distribution to chain, mfg.-wholesaler-distributor-customer, to see if any is registered with the VCCI.
In summary, if anyone in the chain is VCCI registered, that is when it becomes involuntary, and your device, being the mfg., must be compliant to the standard and labeled properly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sam Wismer Lead Regulatory Engineer/ Radio Approvals Engineer LXE, Inc.

George VCCI registration is voluntary. You do not need it to sell in Japan. BUT like so many other things, the VCCI mark is now seen as a sign of quality and you may find it hard to sell products in Japan without the mark.
