Japan - PSE Mark for External Power Supplies

You will be shipping a product with external power supply to various customers in Japan, but do not have an importer yet. As required by METI, the PSE logo must be marked on the external power supply together with the certification body logo and importer name (reporting supplier) or logo as regsitered in METI. The importer (reporting supplier" must also hold a certified copy of the PSE cert.

Interested on some solutions to this problem when you have no importer in Japan yet but need to be ready since you have notify the power supply vendor to provide you with marked up power supplies with the PSE Mark and importer name (takes a long time).
