Hello all, I am trying to finalize moving my cat to Japan with me and submitted the paperwork assumingly correctly yesterday. My sister wasn't able to get me all the info I needed until yesterday since she's helping me from the US and i'm pretty short on time now for the 40 day window they require for notification so I'm a little stressed over this.
I say I submitted assumingly correctly because today I got an email telling me that my notification was not accepted because I need to fix something about the blood test and rabies shots information.
" 輸入に関する届出書を受け付けました。
●NACCSにて狂犬病予防接種情報を修正してください。
※狂犬病予防接種の欄に、混合ワクチンの入力がされていますので、正しい日付と製品名に修正してください。
狂犬病予防接種日→2025/5/3(VANGUARD RABIES),2022/10/19(NOBIVAC RABIES) "
This is the fix they asked me to do in the email. I am confused on two things;
first, do I need to fix it in the NACCS website? Or on the PDF document I provided? I'm assuming the NACCS website since it says "●NACCSにて狂犬病予防接種情報を修正してください。" or "Please correct the rabies vaccine information on NACCS," but I'd like to clarify.
second, when I do fix it, how am I supposed to do it exactly? I'm following the information given to me by my vet back home who did the test and filled out the documents for me, which I'll provide here for anyone who knows more about this and can tell me what to fix or what the things mean.
and third, assuming this all goes a little past that 40 days from the submission deadline, between waiting for replies and confirmations and whatnot, is it still possible to avoid the 180 day quarantine period or is it likely that I'm just fucked..?
Thank you to anyone who can answer this and I apologize for putting urgent in the title, I thought I had all the info I needed but now that I'm 45 days total away from when I'd land with my cat I want to make sure I do this 100% correctly. I would've liked to submit it all a month ago so I could take my time getting the info but that's a different problem completely.
