Moving to Okinawa. Need help on pet importation!

[tlhodges]

HI!

I am new to JREF Community. Looks like a very informative site. Moving to Okinawa in Feb 2008. Have two children who will be heartbroken if Parakeets and Cockatiel can not come with. I am having difficulties finding import info (that makes sense) on Avian Importation. Can anyone help?

Welcome to JREF!

Information on importing animals (including birds) is available at this website:
http://www.maff-aqs.go.jp/english/index.htm
The Animal Quarantine Serivce by Ministry of Agriculture, FOrestry and Fisheres of Japan
(See "Bring animals into Japan" page.)

I haven't checked the details for birds, but hope your children will not have to part with their beloved pets.

If you are coming to Okinawa as SOFA status, PM me and I will provide you with the local military web pages for viewing...but the website that Unrentide provided will answer most of your questions.
