Restriction on Samsung Galaxy Note7

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation for flight safety.

We had already announced to prohibit air cargo transportation of Samsung Galaxy Note7 with ANAS-043 ANA Cargo News issued 9th September, 2016. Now Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) issues the official notice that all these devices including unused items and those being removed batteries shall not be transported by air. Therefore please be reminded that we continuously prohibit transporting Samsung Galaxy Note7 and fully confirm when you are shipping similar cargoes.
