Importing from Mexico to Japan: FAQ
How is import duty calculated for goods shipped from Mexico to Japan?
Duty is the tariff rate for the product's HS code multiplied by the dutiable value. Japan assesses ad valorem duty on the CIF value: the price of the goods plus the cost of international freight and insurance to the point of entry. Import VAT (Consumption Tax) is then charged at 10% on CIF + duty. Enter your HS code or a product description above to get the exact rate for your goods.
What is the import VAT rate in Japan?
The standard rate used by the calculator is 10% (Consumption Tax), charged on CIF + duty.
Is there a de minimis threshold for imports into Japan?
Shipments valued at or below JPY 10,000 are exempt from customs duty. The same threshold applies to import taxes.
Is shipping cost included in the dutiable value in Japan?
Yes. Japan uses CIF valuation, so international freight and insurance are added to the price of the goods before duty is calculated. Enter them in the shipping and insurance fields above.
Are there customs fees on top of duty in Japan?
The calculator applies no ad valorem entry fees or statutory surcharges for Japan. Broker, carrier and storage charges are not included.
What currency are duties paid in for Japan?
Duties and import taxes in Japan are assessed in JPY. The calculator above accepts an invoice in USD or JPY and reports the result in the invoice currency you choose.
Do goods from Mexico get a preferential duty rate in Japan?
Possibly. The LandedFees trade agreement database lists Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership as covering both Mexico and Japan. A preferential rate applies only when the goods meet the agreement's rules of origin and you claim it with the required proof of origin.
