The time to move to Japan is approaching and you would like to know what the customs procedures are for your personal effects. Mon Courrier de France is the partner of expatriates for their removal by air at the best price. From the quotation to the final delivery, including the management of customs procedures for your import, Mon Courrier de France accompanies you at every stage of your shipment of personal effects.
If you are moving to Japan for a period of more than 12 months, you may be eligible for an exemption from import duties and taxes. However, you will need to provide proof of this to the Japanese customs authorities in order to benefit from this exemption:
In addition, the exemption of your personal effects is subject to several conditions:
The customs declaration must be accompanied by a completed Japan Customs Form T 1280 (link - here).
As is the case in every country in the world, there are goods in Japan which are prohibited for import or which are highly regulated and will therefore require specific customs clearance procedures. You can find a list of these goods by following this link here .
In addition, as with all shipments with Mon Courrier de France's partner transporters, there are restrictions on the goods you wish to export to Japan (for more information, follow the link Prohibited goods and contents).).
