Legal Status of Peptides
Highly restrictive. Carry a Yunyu Kakunin-sho (import certificate) for any injectable peptides. Japan has very strict pharmaceutical import laws. Many peptides are classified as pharmaceuticals and require pre-approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare before entry. Unauthorized import can result in seizure and legal consequences.
For the wider picture, see our international peptide travel guide covering customs and prescription requirements country-by-country.
