Acer palmatum is banned for import from Japan.

Oh really? Do you know why?

Maybe for disease. Japanese Black pine is also banned. You can import Japanese White pine though.

I have an import permit for Rhododendron indicum (satsuki's). My request for Acer palmatum and Pinus thunbergii was denied. You can only import seeds from a certified source for those species.
