Relocation from UK to Japan

Hi all, it is my first post here and hope anyone would like to give me some advice about international shipping/transportation from UK to Japan. I am not a native English speaker so sorry about my language!

I am a pet owner and currently have around 10s corns and 4 ball pythons in UK. It’s possible that I will need to move to Japan in the future, so really hope to take them(at least part of them) with me.

I checked the procedure, it seems like I need to apply for an export permits and import permits on the both side, as well as arrange the air flight. So here are some questions if anybody could help me.

  1. How could I prove that my ball pythons are Captive Bred? Some of them are bought from individual breeders so there are no paperworks.
  2. How is the transportation fee counted? (i.e. their flight tickets) Do I need to paid for each one of them? I saw from the YouTue that some exporters put all the snakes in a big wooden box and ship at once, in such cases, how are the fee calculated?

I really appreciate your helps!

Contact Reinhold Maugg in Germany. They are very good at import /export. I used them to import white lips from Austria to canada. Smooth, easy and quite affordable.
