If you import the psychotropics more than 1 month supply you must contact the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) 🔗 https://www.ncd.mhlw.go.jp/en/application2.html#prohibited ↳ Verifying if prescription medication is legal in Japan. Just because it’s legal in your home country does not make it automatically legal in Japan. Some medication’s require an import certificate, this is not something you can do last minute it takes up to 14 days to process. 🔗 https://www.ncd.mhlw.go.jp/en/application2.html #japan #bringingmedicationtojapan #japantravel #japantrip
