    anyone have a list of what foods can/can't be sent to Japan?
    especially concerned in relation to nuts.

    I've been sent nuts by my parents plenty of times. Just a couple of days ago I got a package which had been opened by customs (stuck back together with tape that had 'customs' written on it) which contained cashews an peanuts.

    It has happened at least once before too, and on both occasions, as well as nuts my mother has also sent 2 or 3 jars of her homemade chutney. I've wondered what exactly the customs officer examining the package thought of it.

    They wouldn't let me bring daffodil bulbs into Japan. Confiscated.... :(

    As osarusan said, customs seem to like opening parcels from abroad much more frequently - 2 out of 3 parcels sent to me recently were inspected so would steer clear of perishable items and stick to the Taytos :D
