Ami 6 and Ami 8 has been imported from the 1960s until 1970.
But, in 1970, Ami 8 stopped to be imported because of a changement of law.
Regular import of Ami 6 is a France’s specification.

However, in 1969 by a law amendment, it was obliged for mounting of repeaters of indicators. Repeaters of indicators of « Koito » had to be installed and nowadays they are currently mounted on almost the Ami  in Japan.
