There was a rule against importing Japanese "cultural products". This primarily meant no Japanese-language audio or text anywhere. All Japanese speech must be removed or dubbed to another language, and all Japanese text must be removed or replaced with another language. In some cases media based on Japanese history, folk tales, legends, religion or spirituality was also banned.
