Hey everyone, I’m kind of confused and could really use some advice.

We found a couple of seashells and what looks like some coral skeletons (they kind of ring like glass, so honestly not even sure if they’re actually coral), and also bought a soap dish from a souvenir shop in Okinawa.

My question is — can I take this stuff with me when I leave?

I’ve seen people say that for personal use it’s usually fine and they had no issues, but I’ve also heard that some people got fined. So now I have no idea what to do.

Should I just not worry about it and pack it in my luggage? Or do I need to declare it (and if so, how does that even work)?

I’m leaving in less than 24 hours, so kind of stressing about it right now.
