Charge for Customs Declaration Deputation - Japan Forwarding Service

For each package exported from Japan and declared over 200,000 yen, it’s obligatory to depute Japan Post for clearance. Japan Post will charge 2,800 yen for each category as a deputation fee. This policy starts from April 1, 2017.

It’s also applicable to packages imported or returned from other countries. Here are the rates for imported and returned packages:
.1-2 categories will be charged 6,600 yen per category.
.3-6 categories will be charged 9,300 yen per category.
.More than 7 categories will be charged 12,000 yen per category.

If a package is exported from Japan and declared over 200,000 yen, but it's returned to Japan, one will need to pay the deputation fee TWICE.

For instance,
If you declare a package more than 200,000 yen, including 3 books, 2 cameras, and 1 bag, you will be charged 2,800*3= 8400 yen as the deputation fee when exporting.
However, if later this package is returned to Japan, you’ll need to pay the deputation fee again, and this time it’s 9,300*3= 27,900 yen.

Please contact our service team if there is any problem about the fees.
