Japan is strictly cracking down on under-declaration! The taxable price of Amazon FBA goods must not be lower than 50%~60% of the selling price!


The cross-border industry was named the worst industry in the first half of 2020, and will strive to be the worst industry for the whole year of 2020.


At the same time, many sellers on European and American sites have suffered the most in the cross-border industry, and now sellers on Japanese sites are forced to catch up.


Japanese customs will impose tariffs on FBA goods‍



Today, an international logistics company issued a notice to sellers: Japanese Customs will adopt a reverse calculation method to collect tariffs on Chinese e-commerce goods starting from March 30, 2020.

The original notice is as follows:


Here I will highlight the key points for you:

1. Starting from March 30, 2020, due to the new regulations of Japanese Customs, the customs clearance speed at Tokyo and Osaka airports and ports will be greatly affected.

2. For FBA goods, the customs broker needs to determine the value before declaration. The determination standard is the Amazon link and ASIN number of the product to prove the sales price, and the taxable price of the goods is determined based on the various service fees of the Amazon platform! (Preliminary estimates show that the taxable price is likely to be about 50% to 60% of the product link selling price).

3. If storage fees and advertising fees are included, you need to be prepared for the risk of long-term confrontation with customs.

4. During the goods declaration process, the customs broker and the customs will review the declared value based on the link, which will result in higher taxes than expected.

The large-scale delays in customs clearance and high taxes are undoubtedly a heavy blow to sellers on the Japanese site!


Japanese customs declaration requirements and customs clearance document requirements



Subsequently, another international logistics company issued a notice on the latest declaration requirements and customs clearance document requirements for exports to Japan.

For goods exported to Japan, the Japanese Customs has introduced the latest customs clearance policy, the details are as follows:

1: For commercial express delivery, if the price declaration is suspected to be low, the importer will be asked to provide the following information:

1 Commercial contract between importer and exporter.

2 Overseas gold delivery certificate.

If the goods under inspection cannot provide the above certificates, they will not be imported! This may result in the goods being unable to clear customs.

Second: For FBA goods, the customs broker needs to determine the value before declaring. The determination standard is the Amazon link and ASIN number of the product to prove the sales price, and the taxable price of the goods is determined based on the various service fees of the Amazon platform! (Preliminary estimates show that the taxable price is likely to be about 50% to 60% of the product link selling price).

The above requirements cover goods arriving in Japan by air, sea, express , etc.!


Reminder to Japanese sellers



1. If the customs clearance of goods in transit is blocked, you must cooperate with the logistics company and provide complete information for customs clearance.

2. Accurately declare the value of the goods, otherwise it may result in high storage fees and destruction fees.

3. Be prepared to be overcharged in taxes.

I don’t know what the sellers have to complain about regarding the heavy charges imposed by Japanese Customs. I just want to say to the sellers: Run away!


The logistics and Amazon policy obstacles during the epidemic have left many cross-border sellers feeling cold.

Today’s tariffs have put a heavy burden on sellers. Some have said they have begun to switch to domestic e-commerce and become anchors, some have transformed from sellers to service providers, and are there still sellers who insist on doing business with Amazon?
