The procedure of the MTA execution has been changed:
The approval of the person in charge of intellectual property is eliminated. The procedure of the MTA execution consists of the approval by user and National Institute of Genetics. Once you order, just wait for the arrival of flies or plasmids. Please see a flow chart below.

Notice:
We have posted the shipping schedule for 2026, so please kindly check it. Please note that we will introduce a temporary suspension period for order acceptance in order to avoid extended delays between order placement and shipment. We regret any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
To All U.S. Users,
Due to unclear procedures resulting from changes in U.S. customs duties and regulations, Japan Post has suspended acceptance of EMS shipments to the United States. Accordingly, our shipments of Drosophila to the U.S. are also suspended. We will resume shipping as soon as EMS service becomes available again.
Thank you very much for your understanding.

Required Forms
Some country needs import
permit labels/documents (USA, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan
etc.), animal identification, health certification and so on.
Please make sure to send all
required forms along with a copy of your order confirmation
mail. We cannot guarantee the shipment if we don't receive
exact forms.
US Customers's Required Forms
On Sep. 30, 2013, USDA APHIS
changed the policy and simplified the necessary document for
Drosophila stock importation. They issue the courtesy permit
and the Letter of No Jurisdiction. This will enable us to ship
directly to you without going through USDA APHIS. Please
upload the Courtesy permit and the Letter of No Jurisdiction at the time of
ordering. As in the past, you can use "the permit, blue and white
label, and domestic waybill" and send them by e-mail or airmail.
If your order is
plasmid only, no need for the permit and the waybill.
Term for Payment
You will not be
charged at the moment you place an order. Payment
will be settled the day we confirm your shipment. This period, from order to shipment,
should complete in 60 days, otherwise your order will be
expired and canceled. http://shigen.nig.ac.jp/fly/nigfly/about/aboutPaymentFee.jsp
