Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thai nabbed for bringing pork sausages to Japan By The Nation A Thai national has been arrested for bringing sausages containing pork from Thailand into Japan, said the Animal Quarantine Service under the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (AQS). Import of food products with pork as an ingredient is prohibited in Japan, in response to the prevalence of African swine fever (ASF) in several Asian countries. Since 2018, the AQS has been strengthening control measures against foreigners bringing in these products. The measures were further tightened last year, in light of the upcoming Olympics Games in Tokyo . The latest case is the fifth violation of the Domestic Animal Infectious Diseases Control Law and the second involving the same Thai national. The Thai was given a written warning on November 10, 2019 for illegally bringing sausages containing pork from Thailand. Despite the warning, he was arrested again at Narita International Airport for attempting to smuggle in 10.45 kg of sausages on November 25, 2019. AQS at Narita International Airport filed a complaint with police, which led to this arrest. Illegal imports of meat products are subject to "imprisonment for up to 3 years or a fine of up to 1 million yen." Eight people have so far been arrested in five cases.

yokat Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Hardly newsworthy, every people I know visits overseas relative/friends without declaring whatever cheese or sausage they're bringing over. If the smelly stuff is sealed correctly it's unlikely that the dogs find it (if they actually use dogs). This guy was probably red-flagged, being a known offender I wouldn't be surprised if his bag get automatically marked for inspection.

sharksy Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 That's nothing. My Thai lady come back last week to the UK with RATS, among other things. She was quite put out, when National Express refused to accept a bag of luggage which contained a load of wrapped food (rats included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
