📝 Important Notes
- •Yes, in personal baggage: Japan exempts dairy products such as cheese, milk, cream and butter carried as travellers’ baggage from animal quarantine. This includes carry-on, checked and qualifying unaccompanied baggage.
- •Scope matters: This is not a blanket permission for commercial cargo. AQS recommends an exporting-authority inspection certificate for baggage over 10 kg, commercial/business use or animal feed. Confirm these cases with AQS before departure.
- •Other ingredients and customs: The dairy exemption does not automatically cover meat mixed into a product. Check all ingredients. Complete the passenger customs declaration and meet applicable duty allowances. Airline liquid and baggage screening rules are separate from Japan’s import rules.
❓ More Questions
Is 10 kg a strict ban on dairy in passenger baggage?
The AQS page does not state a blanket 10 kg passenger-baggage ban. It recommends an official inspection certificate for baggage over 10 kg, business use or feed. Check your case with AQS before travel.
