What happens between the plane and the exit

The same order at every international airport in Japan.

1. Quarantine — a health check as you come off the aircraft.
2. Immigration — fingerprints and a facial photograph, for everyone aged 16 and over, then the landing permission seal in your passport.
3. Baggage claim.
4. Animal and plant quarantine — before customs. Meat, fruit, vegetables, seeds and plants go to this counter first.
5. Customs — green channel with nothing to declare, red channel otherwise.
