Dear all, I would like to bring some Drosophila strains from Japan to another country (Indonesia) with me on the plane. Some of the flies are mutant (lacking for some proteins related to immune system). I have ask some institutions/authorities in Indonesia in regards to this matter but they did not give me a proper answer. Perhaps someone had the same experience and would like to share?
Well, if you have a statement from the lab or stock centre is Japan that fruit flies that you will be carrying are for research purpose and harmless to human beings, not carriers of diseases etc,,, you maybe allowed to carry the flies in your check-in luggage. Having said that it really depends on the airline policy and the Indonesian emigration.
Thank you for your kind suggestion Antara Das. I will try to do so and hoping this won't create a fuss to Immigration officer when I arrive in Indonesia. :)
