The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) has once again issued a reminder regarding thorough animal and plant quarantine during the Golden Week holiday period.

   In principle, it is prohibited to bring meat products, fruits, vegetables, etc. from other countries into Japan.

1 Regardless of the quantity or form of transport (baggage, personal effects, or mail), the law strictly restricts the importation of meat products, fruits, vegetables, etc. from other countries to Japan.

2. Illegal importation of meat products, fruits, vegetables, etc. into Japan is subject to heavy penalties (e.g., imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 3 million yen (50 million yen or less for corporations)).

3. Make sure that not only international students themselves, but also their visiting family members and acquaintances, never bring meat products, fruits, vegetables, etc. into Japan, and never send them by mail to Japan.
