【Caution！】Do NOT send livestock products from overseas to Japan!

Several suspects were arrested on attempting illegal import of livestock products using international parcels.

This is the first case in Japan that an arrest was made on suspicion of bringing in livestock products by international parcels.

In order to prevent the incursion of domestic animal infectious, such as African swine fever (ASF), it is prohibited by law to send livestock products such as sausages, jerky, dumplings, steamed buns, meatballs for hot pot, etc. from overseas to Japan by not only passenger baggage but also international parcels.

If you illegally import livestock products into Japan, you would be levied with a fine of up to three million JPY (50 million JPY for corporate body) or face imprisonment of up to three years.

Please note that this provision applies also to illegal livestock products imported through passenger luggage or international parcels.

For more details, please visit the Animal Quarantine Service Web site.
