Sending canned meat in Japan

Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure something out, but I can’t seem to find a definitive answer on it so I decided to ask the Redditors to share personal experience.

Is it OK to have canned food sent to me from Europe? My mom wants to send some canned fish delicacies and Foie gras. It will be in a tin can for sure.

Should we risk it? Thanks a bunch.

  1. It’s forbidden without a certificate. Either try to hide it (at least from the paperwork) or give up.
    It seems that they are more lenient for canned goods (I had a ham confiscated once but not the foie gras).
