There is nil tolerance for pests and diseases not known to occur in Japan but a tolerance exists for common disease organisms believed to be cosmopolitan in distribution. The Japanese ministry has established working tolerance in seed for:
Claviceps spp - 0.05% by weight
Sclerotinia spp - 0.05% by weight
Soil - 0.03% by weight.

For other detected disease organisms, if identified as common or occurring already in Japan, a Phytosanitary Certificate may be issued for the seed with an additional declaration stating the name of the organism and percentage infection.  No certification should be given for seed heavily contaminated with disease organisms, whether common or not.
