Please be advised that, when exporting live Cherax spp. to Japan, it is a requirement that the importer holds a valid import permit. It is the responsibility of the importer to ensure the import requirements are addressed. However, the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service recommend that exporters discuss the import requirements with their importer prior to exporting consignments of live Cherax spp.
