Amazon Japan has submitted a plan to the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) on how it will improve practices after being suspected of violating anti-trust rules.
The improvement plan includes refunding suppliers who were pressured to pay part of the cost of selling their products at a discount on amazon.com.
If the JFTC approves the plan, the online seller gets exempted from penalties for anti-trust law violations.
The JFTC raided Amazon Japan in 2018 on the suspicion that it demanded “cooperation money” from suppliers.
Amazon Japan had previously been found by the JFTC of requiring suppliers that sell on multiple platforms to list their products on Amazon.com at the same or lower prices.
Amazon Japan agreed to drop the practice that led the regulators in ending the probe in 2017.
