Hello Emilio
The original poster did not have any certification certificate information at all for the FT-817ND they intended to use in Japan. I was hoping that copies of the UK version, which along with the EU standards information contains some contact details for Yaesu
might be of some use to them, although it was not clear if the transceiver in question was a Japanese version.
I did try and look further for Denis but there did not seem possible to access the Japanese certification from the websites I looked at.
Unfortunately, as you say if the transceiver is a non-Japanese version it might indeed mean getting the thing certified. To be honest it would probably be cheaper to buy a Japanese one to use in the country rather than bringing one for visits if this indeed
the case.

Hi Kevin,
Is your FT-817nd a Japanese model? If so, is printed on the model/serial label in the radio
Particular for FT-817, the number may vary if was manufacturer before Nov 2007
If your radio isn't a Japanese model, then you will need to request the certification due to the fact they may transmit outside Japanese band plan or don't complain the spurs levels here
They charge for that (4,000-5,000 yen i think) and no guarantee you pass
Of course if you buy a Japanese model, Yaesu already apply for certification before selling it
