Dear Glen, My wife is from Japan and I am a hobby beekeeper. She always takes my honey with her as gifts when she goes to Japan, and we have never had any trouble with it. Just pack it so it will not break. It's also nice to either wrap the gift or put it in a nice gift bag. Apparently it's considered to be ill mannered to just hand something unwrapped to someone as a present. If you were taking the honey to sell, rather than as gifts, then it might be a different story. I don't know the restrictions on importing honey to sell from the U.S. into Japan. Good luck, Layne Westover, College Station, Texas p.s., as a matter of fact, my wife is going back to Japan for a visit in February and has asked me to prepare some bottles of honey for her to take as gifts to family and friends. As you probably know, Japanese people are big on giving gifts. >>> [log in to unmask] 1/22/04 9:40:18 AM >>> Can anyone on the list tell me if there are restrictions about the importing of honey from the US into Japan? I'd like to bring some as gifts for people there if I visit. Thanks. --glen :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
