8. Duty and Tax Exemption for Re-import
If the mail arriving this time are re-imported items and you wish to apply for duty and tax exemptions, please submit an export permit or a customs certificate (or customs declaration form if the item was exported by mail) and the invoice at the time of export to Tokyo Overseas Mail Sub-branch Customs.
However, duty and tax exemptions cannot be applied to all re-imported goods.
The duty exemption for re-importation is limited to cases in which the nature and shape of the item are unchanged from the time of export, and the identity of the item can be confirmed at the time of re-importation by characteristics such as the serial number of the item.
Additionally, if the mail arriving this time is not re-imported items or you do not wish to apply for an exemption, please inform Customs of this.
