Can Rabbits Travel to Japan?
Moving Bunnies to Japan
Dear PetRelocation,
I can't find any information on moving my bunny from the US to Japan, including whatever regulations they may have. Please help!
Thanks,
Emma
Hi Emma,
Thank you for your question! When seeking out pet import requirements for various countries it's often helpful to look at official government sites such as the USDA or the Ministry of Agriculture for the country of import.
In this case it looks like Japan's pet import information can be found on the Animal Quarantine Service page, and there is an overview of rabbit travel requirements specifically.
You'll find here that you'll need an official health certificate, and upon arrival your rabbit will undergo a one-day quarantine inspection. Here's a link to a few frequently asked questions about importing rabbits into Japan.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you think you'd like some help arranging your move. We've assisted with several rabbit relocations around the world and would be happy to discuss our services with you.
Good luck!
