SUBMET is an experiment at J-PARC aiming to detect particles with tiny electric charge. The detector is composed of two layers of scintillator stacks. Using beam-timing and requiring a coincidence between the layers allow significant background reduction and provide sensitivity to Q<10^-3e, the region largely unexplored yet. The experiment received the final approval from J-PARC this summer. Introduction to the experiment as well as the status and plan will be discussed.
