Hi guys,
Recently bought a leather motorbike jacket from a shop in the UK (recently passed my bike test here) and asked my parents to send it to me. According to the royal mail website, leather products (without some sort of certificate of origin) are banned from import into Japan! A searched a little more on the japan customs website and it vaguely mentioned animal products are not currently importable due to foot and mouth etc, but the notice seemed to be mainly concerned with meat etc.
Has anyone here recently tried to import leather, and had any problems? Thinking about just trying and see what happens, but the jacket wasn't cheap and i don't want it disappearing on me.
