# Can I ship meat (wagyu, jerky) from Japan?

> Mostly no. Most destinations that have a meat rule prohibit meat and meat products by post, including the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand; Australia prohibits raw meat. A few, such as Singapore and the Netherlands, accept it only with a quarantine or veterinary certificate.

- Carrier-wide rules named: 0 · Destinations with their own rule: 71

## Short answer

Meat is controlled by animal-health law at the destination, and a prohibition covers processed products too: jerky, sausages, canned meat and retort curry with meat are refused where fresh meat is. Raw and chilled meat is refused more widely still, and cannot survive international mail in any case.

The destinations that list meat as conditional require import authorisations or quarantine or veterinary certificates that an individual parcel rarely has. The table below shows every covered destination with its own meat rule and the exact wording.

Whether a specific product can go in a specific parcel is decided per item: the ShipMate GO app asks the follow-up questions a rule needs and gives a verdict before anything is booked.

## How to read this guide

- Every rule below is **prohibited** or **conditional**. The list holds Japan Post's published restrictions only.
- An item that is not listed has **no specific rule here**. That is not a statement that it is allowed: it may fall under a general category (food, medicine, batteries), under the destination's customs law, or under Japan Post's carrier-wide rules.
- A **conditional** rule allows the item only when its stated conditions hold. Whether a specific product qualifies is decided per item, which is what the ShipMate GO app does before a booking.
- The **carrier-wide layer** (items Japan Post refuses or conditions to every destination) applies before and on top of any destination's own rules.
- These are Japan Post's rules for parcels sent from Japan. ShipMate ships on Japan Post and publishes them; it does not set them.
- This guide covers **one item**. A destination that does not appear under "Destination rules" has no destination-specific rule naming it; the carrier-wide rules and that destination's general customs law still apply.

## Carrier-wide rules (apply to every destination)

No carrier-wide rule names meat. The full carrier-wide list still applies: https://www.shipmate.jp/en/international-shipping/japan-post-prohibited-items.md

- **Meat products** — Conditional
  - Australia does not admit uncanned meat by mail for personal use — fresh, frozen, dried, smoked, salted or vacuum-packed meat needs an import permit that private recipients cannot obtain.

Meat flavouring, extract or seasoning on its own is not meat.
  - Condition: Meat, or a food containing pieces of meat, that is fresh, frozen, dried, smoked, salted or vacuum-packed (not commercially canned or retort-pouched, and not jerky, biltong, pâté or pork crackling) → Not permitted — requires an import permit that private recipients cannot obtain
  - Condition: Commercially canned or retort-pouched meat → Review — BICON retorted-meat conditions apply
  - Condition: Jerky or biltong, pâté or meat paste, or pork crackling → Review — BICON personal-use conditions for these products apply
  - Condition: The item contains no pieces of meat (meat flavouring, extract or seasoning only) → Not applicable — this entry does not govern the item
  - Condition: Japan Post's wording: permitted only with permission from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) → Superseded — AQIS no longer exists and private recipients cannot obtain an import permit; BICON's personal-use conditions decide
  - Documents required: Authorization from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS)

## Frequently asked questions

### Is packaged or dried meat treated differently from raw?

Rarely in the sender's favour. A destination that prohibits meat products refuses jerky, sausages and canned meat as well as fresh meat. Where a destination's rule names raw meat only, processed products still fall under its general food rules.

### Which destinations list meat as conditional?

The table on this page lists them with Japan Post's wording and the conditions, typically an import authorisation or a quarantine or veterinary certificate. Singapore and the Netherlands are examples.

### What happens if customs finds undeclared meat?

The parcel is held or destroyed at the destination and the sender may be fined. ShipMate declares contents accurately and does not carry items a rule prohibits.

Based on carrier-published restriction data. Final acceptance is decided by the carrier and destination customs; general import rules of the destination still apply.

Japan Post sets these rules; ShipMate publishes them and ships under them. Rule text is Japan Post's, translated and summarised; every rule links to its source. The rule lists refresh daily; the written answer is reviewed by a person and dated above.
