Customs Procedures and Regulations in Japan
As with all international exports, it’s important to familiarise yourself with the rules and regulations in place for exporting goods to Japan. Some items are completely prohibited, whereas others can be admitted into the country with the correct paperwork in place.
Prohibited items include items that are commonly illegal internationally, in addition to items specifically controlled by Japan’s border forces. Carriers also have their own lists of prohibited and restricted items, too – so be sure to check these before shipping.
Restricted items will only be admitted into Japan when following the Japanese import guidelines and regulations. This means an error in paperwork, or missing documents, may result in your package being seized.
