THANK YOU! Your answer greatly clarifies this subject for me. Apparently, both of my sources had some truth to them; but neither provided the whole picture.

In this case, o Your agent in Japan (usually, the importer) will need to notify to METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). o You, or your agent in Japan, will need to get the third-party certification from one of the approved test agencies, such as JQA, JET, TUV Rheinland Japan, UL Inc., etc. o You, or your agent in Japan, will need to hold the test records for each of the product. o The name of the agent who notified himself to METI will be needed to be marked on the product. Maybe it is easier to purchase power supply units which are aleady PS-E marked under the manufacturer's own responsibility. Please also note that the power cord may also need to be PS-E marked if it is of a detachable one.
