TOKYO — The Japanese antitrust watchdog is set to fine U.S. motorcycle giant Harley-Davidson’s local unit about 200 million yen ($1.38 million) for imposing excessive sales quotas on dealers, Nikkei has learned from a source familiar with the matter.

The Japan Fair Trade Commission will also issue a cease-and-desist order to prevent a recurrence. The JFTC is thought to have already informed the company and will finalize its decision after hearing its views.
