Notification System for the Importation of Animals

Tuberculosis and Infectious Diseases Control Division
Health Service Bureau
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan commenced the notification system for importation of animals　in order to prevent outbreaks of zoonoses derived from imported animals on September 1, 2005.

Under the system, any importer of animals (live terrestrial mammals, Live birds and carcasses of rodents and lagmorpha) is required to submit a written declaration giving the specified information on the animals to be imported, such as their species name and quantity, to the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare (the quarantine station concerned), accompanied by a health certificate issued by the government authorities of the exporting country certifying that the animals are free from the infectious diseases specified for each species.

The system is aimed at taking prompt action (including follow-up) based on the declared information in the event of infections associated with imported animals, as well as ensuring the safety of imported animals themselves through a health certificate issued by the government authorities of the exporting country.
