Seoul may officially remove Tokyo from its white list as early as next week.
The trade ministry is in the final process of revising its strategic material export import control guidelines.
The measure was announced in August and the 20 day-public opinion-gathering process ended last Tuesday.
The change would mean stricter conditions for Japanese firms when importing strategic goods from South Korea... and a longer approval process from Seoul's government.
Tokyo, announced new export curbs in July, and revised its trade whitelist on August 28th, citing an alleged lack of export controls on South Korea's part.
