I am traveling to Japan from India. Can I bring some (500 gms) nuts like Cashews and Almonds which are commercially packed?

If you declare it to the Plant Quarantine Station, you can bring it in as long as it is edible even without an inspection certificate. (dried seeds of cashews, almonds, pistachios, unshelled walnuts and macadamia nuts)

However, if you are arriving from India via another country, there is a possibility that you may not be able to bring it in.
