Full Details

Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Dairy Products sent to Japan typically requires an accurate customs declaration on the CN22 / CN23 label, may attract duty + VAT above the personal-import threshold, and in some cases needs a permit (medication / food / cultural property). Mailers should consult Japan Customs (Ministry of Finance) for the current parcel rule and threshold values.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Declare the contents accurately on the CN22 / CN23 label. Japan Customs (Ministry of Finance) computes duty + VAT above the destination's de-minimis threshold. Keep purchase receipts available in case the consignee receives a clearance notice.
