The Animal Quarantine Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has notified us about several instances where meat products that are banned for import have been discovered in the international parcels addressed to members of our university.
We urge all members of Tohoku University to comply with the relevant regulations and avoid engaging in any such practices. Not only is it a violation of the law, but it also poses a risk to public health and safety.
