NOTIFICATION
OF EMERGENCY MEASURES
Addendum
The following communication,
received on 10 December 2025, is being circulated at the request of the
Delegation of Japan.

Lifting
the import suspension of raw milk and/or un-heated/un-treated milk products
from Germany
|
|
In
order to prevent the introduction of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) virus into
Japan, MAFF suspended the import of raw milk and/or un-heated/un-treated milk
products from Germany, including those shipped through third countries, on 11
January 2025, based on the "Animal Health Requirements for raw milk
and/or milk products to be exported to Japan from Listed countries" and
the Article 37 and 44 of the "Act on Domestic Animal Infectious Disease
Control".
Based on the
information regarding FMD control measures in Germany, it was concluded that
resuming imports of raw milk and/or un-heated/un-treated milk products from
Germany would pose a negligible risk of FMD introduction into Japan.
Therefore,
raw milk and/or un-heated/un-treated milk products produced on or after
12 November 2025 are permitted for import, and _G/SPS/N/JPN/1321
will be withdrawn on the date of circulation of this notification
In addition,
MAFF has modified the listed countries which are defined in the "Animal
Health Requirements for raw milk and/or milk products to be exported to Japan
from Listed countries" and now Germany is included in the listed
countries.
