Japanese 100-yen shop slapped with fine, 2-year import ban in Taiwan

Well done Taiwan.

Endless corruption, endless fraud.

Japanese are really on a roll with the fraud and corruption. it looks like the honest hard working Japanese image is just a facade. But then again what would you expect from a society where the mafia has their fingers in so many pies.

Remember, its not wrong or immoral until the moment you get caught.

Daiso was fined 1 million dollars in Australia for importing dangerous and unsafe children's toys as well as guns that shoot projectiles. Sounds like their legal department doesn't read the local rules very well.

I have had some experiences with Taiwanese customs, and they can be pretty erratic themselves. Not saying Daiso didn't do something corrupt, but the accusers are not terribly clean themselves.

Selling possibly irradiated food products and then misrepresenting the origin of said goods?

Daiso s certainly open to a massive suit for damages....

I prefer Seria for my hyaku-yen shopping. The shops are generally smaller than Daiso, and not nearly as many locations. But, in general, the quality of the goods is much higher.
