[Date/Month/Year]
[Receiver’s name and address （送付先の名称・住所）]
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Invasive Alien Species Act has been in force in Japan since June 1st, 2005. The objectives
of the act are to contribute to prevention of damages against biodiversity, human safety, and agriculture
in Japan caused by invasive alien species. According to Paragraph 1 of Article 25 of the act, living
organisms which are not easily confirmable that they do not fall under the category of Invasive Alien
Species nor Uncategorized Alien Species must not be exported to Japan unless certificates issued by
foreign government agencies or other competent organizations are attached to the organisms. These
organisms are called “LORCA (Living Organisms Required to have Certificate Attached),” and the list
of “LORCA" is on the attached leaflet. The Japanese Government asks you to understand the
objectives of the act and help realize effective implementation of the regulation by issuing authentic
certificates upon request. The certificates need to be in English or Japanese, containing the following
information:
1) Scientific names of the organisms to be exported to Japan
2) Amount of the organisms to be proved
3) Name and address of the authority issuing the certificate
For detailed information, please refer to the website of the Japanese Ministry of the
Environment (http://www.env.go.jp/en/topic/as.html) or send inquiries to our staff members.
We appreciate your cooperation.
