After a quick trip, it was finally the last day.
The return flight to Japan departs at 17:00 in the evening.
So, even on the last day, there is plenty of time.
First of all, I packed the succulents and pots I bought on the first and second days in my hotel room.
When bringing plants into Japan from abroad, it is necessary to (1) remove all soil and (2) have a plant quarantine certificate issued by the country where the plant was purchased.
First,
① Remove all soil
This time, I brought kitchen paper, masking tape (hereafter referred to as masking tape), scissors, and magic pens from Japan just in case.
The seedlings had already had their roots cut and the soil removed roughly, but I removed the dead leaves, cleaned the area around the roots, wrapped each seedling in kitchen paper and fixed it with a maste, and wrote the name on the maste with a magic pen. .
→ In plant quarantine after entering Japan,
・Some quarantine officers consider dead leaves to be dirt, even if they are crumbly crumbs.
・Multi-headed seedlings may be counted as one seedling if the stock is separated.
・If there is even one item more than the number stated in the document, all items will be confiscated.
・Although you can inspect the plants in any condition, it is easier and quicker to inspect the plants if they are packed one by one.
And so on.
So, if you want to buy succulent seedlings in Korea and bring them back to Japan, I recommend that you bring them from Japan.
《Items from Japan》
・Scissors
·tweezers
・Brush (to remove dirt and dead leaves)
・Masking tape (recommended over cellophane tape as it is necessary to open the package during quarantine)
・Permanent pen
・Bags, boxes, etc. to bring back seedlings in carry-on luggage
・Kitchen paper (can be purchased locally)
is!
By the way, seedlings can be quarantined even if they are put in checked baggage, but there is no need to worry about damage to the seedlings in hand luggage, and quarantine is smoother.
After packing the seedlings and packing the pots, the seedlings are in the baggage and the pots are in the suitcase.
Finish packing, check out the hotel, and head to Gimpo Airport!
My return flight was in the evening, but I didn't know how long it would take to issue a plant quarantine certificate, so I headed to the airport where the plant quarantine station is located.
