② -1 Inspection certificate for children
We request that children also obtain an inspection certificate.
However, taking into consideration the fact that many countries do not have a system of inspection for children who are not yet in school, the quarantine service, after asking about individual circumstances, may require a child （ generally under 6 years of age ） who enters the country accompanied by a parent or other caregiver who lives with him or her to have a negative test certificate. If the child has a negative test certificate, the child does not need to have a test certificate.

＞ I really want to remove the tree from the roots,

When you say "the roots" do you mean the part of the tree that is above ground from the ground? Or do you want to remove all of the underground roots? This will make a big difference in the amount of work. If you want to remove only the above-ground portion of the tree, you should buy a chainsaw and cut the roots yourself rather than paying a contractor to do it. You don't have to go up high on a ladder.

It will cost you time (days), but the whole tree that you cut off in a snap can be shredded with the same chainsaw and a big pair of scissors to cut branches, and it will go into the green city dumpster, and you can have it taken away little by little over many weeks.

Life isn't so interesting if you're just trying to get "good luck".

#16 Dear SJDummy

I am thinking of sending money to my sister in Japan, is it ok if it is not $10,000 at a time ？ for example in 4 installments. I don't have a bank account in Japan, so I will send it to my sister. （ I want it to be used for my mother's care ）
If I send my sister a total of $10,000 in one year, will there be any problems on her side ？ like taxes....
I have been away from Japan for 40 years, so I don't know anything about Japan.
Please let me know if you can help me.

It seems that $10,000 is the amount on the U.S. side, and on the Japanese side, if the amount is more than 1 million yen, it will be reported to the tax office. For example, assuming that 900,000 yen in Japanese yen is sent four times, probably no report will be sent to the tax office both in Japan and the U.S. （ Personal Opinion ） This is not a guarantee. If the recipient is the same person, if the tax office learned that information, they would check to see if the gift tax has been reported. （ The tax-free range for gift tax in Japan is up to 1,100,000 yen per year ） Also, on the U.S. side, there should normally be no report to the IRS, but if there is an investigation, the gift is considered to be more than $ 15,000 per year to the same person and a gift tax return will be required on the U.S. side. If the rules are followed, gift tax returns （ must be filed in both Japan and the U.S. ） by the recipient in Japan and the sender in the U.S. , so it depends on how you think about the risk of being discovered by the tax authorities. From this point on, it would be up to the individual, but for this amount of money, I would not file a tax return.

Dear SJDummy,

Thank you again.

My Japanese assets are over 100k.
The other day, I talked to someone who has more assets than I do, and he told me that I should file Form 8938 and FBAR properly, but
he said that if I tell my accountant too much detail, he will just make money from me, so I should just do the small amount properly.
（ For example, accounts under $10 could be written as $8 or $6. As for his wife, he said that she doesn't declare accounts of about 1-2 million. ）
He told us that they have an American accountant, so they do a lot of the work themselves.

I just started to fill out Form 8938 on turbotax, and I can easily find dividends by looking at the brokerage report, but
I have to check the 12 month statement for each account and add up the interest from the bank since it comes in at different times. ？
and it is as the rule says, but the interest on savings accounts is 0.001%, so even if there were tens of millions of dollars, it would only be a few hundred yen,
should I assume 0 yen, ？ or should I put an appropriate number? ？

Another thing I don't understand is that the tax rate on capital gains over one year seems to be 0% if it is less than $44,000, but should interest on time deposits over one year be included in interest? Thank you again. Thank you again.

Dear SJDummy,

Sorry. It is financial income, not financial assets.
Financial income is about 2 million yen, although I learned about these programs this year and sold them in a hurry.

In addition, I would like to know if you know anything about this.
It seems that I have to file form 8621 if I have a mutual fund, but I have no idea. My accountant told me that mutual funds are complicated and I should get rid of them.
Do I have to submit the form even if I hold it and do not make a profit? ？ Is there an accountant who can help me with this part?

It is dangerous to turn it on and off.

I replaced my 50 Galon Gas Water Heater by myself a few years ago, but the pilot light was very different from the old one, so it was very hard to see and I had to call the gas company to check.

Turning on and off the pilot of a gas heater is easy
There are usually instructions on the heater
When you turn it off, you can easily find the main gas valve, which we all know will turn off the main gas supply and turn off by itself.
When on, even if you open the main valve, no gas will be supplied unless the pilot is lit and heat is generated
This design prevents gas from being left on if the pilot is turned off by wind or other causes
When on, open the gas valve and press the push button at the end of the pipe connected to the pilot. When it is on, the gas is supplied to the pilot by opening the gas tap and pressing the push button at the end of the pipe that is connected to the pilot.
It's just that simple.

Replacing the water heater by yourself ？ I know you are bragging about it, but no sensible person should do a job that requires gas piping by yourself.
It is natural to ask the gas company to come and do the work, and to suggest that it is the same as the pilot is really at the wrong level
You still don't have any common sense.

The commission is against the exchange rate. 1 dollar ＝ at 100 yen
is calculated as 103 yen
with 3 yen commission when buying dollars and 97 yen when the opposite is true.
In terms of exchange only
this 3 yen commission is roughly the same at Japanese bank exchange centers, Japan Post Bank, etc.
My experience when buying dollars is that it is more advantageous to have them sent by wire from bank to bank than 3 yen.
（ In my case, Mitsubishi UFJ → UNION BANK)

On a side note,
If you are talking about money exchange, you can make money if there is more than 6 yen difference in exchange rate.

Small hair dryers, electric kettles, etc. may be worth sending, but refrigerators, washer/dryers, and other so-called "shiro mono" appliances are too large and heavy to be worth the trouble of sending from Japan.

＞ I heard that it costs about 25,000 yen per box from Kuroneko Yamato, so it is faster to buy something similar in the US

You are right. And since the power supply voltage here is 120V while in Japan it is 100V, it is very dangerous to use hair dryers and other products that convert electrical energy into heat. However, if you buy a transformer, it will be much more expensive, and the transformers available here do not meet the U.S. safety standards, so it is dangerous to use them.

We buy Zojirushi electric kettles and TOTO washlet adapted for the US market from US Amazon. But if Japanese parents or friends send appliances, we have to accept them. Either way, shipping fees across the ocean are probably quite expensive by any means nowadays. Sorry this is not the answer you want, but it is not the key.

Dental problems such as tooth decay and bad breath are not only caused by food debris that accumulates between the teeth, but also by debris that remains between the teeth and gums, which cannot be removed by brushing and permanently remain in the hot and humid environment of the mouth, causing a bad odor.

The debris that accumulates between the teeth can be removed with Dental Floss. Dental Floss can also be used to remove debris from between teeth, but as many of you may already know, Waterpik water spray can also be used to remove debris from between teeth and between teeth and gums.
