The JAS originally covered only horticultural products such as fruit and vegetables, livestock feed and processed products of horticultural origin. This has been extended to include livestock products such as animals, eggs and processed animal products such as cheese. This Standard does not currently cover apiculture (honey & bee products) or aquaculture. It also does not cover non-agricultural products such as textiles or health & beauty products. It does include the grading of lumber for import into Japan. JAS #1 lumber, often called J lumber, is the highest quality dimensional lumber; it has very few knots or blemishes and is very straight.
