About Japan

Japan is a sovereign island nation in East Asia, located in the Pacific Ocean. The country is made up of dense cities, imperial palaces, mountainous national parks and thousands of shrines and temples. It is one of the top tourist destinations in Asia attracting more than 10 million visitors each and every year. Did you know? The kanji that make up Japan’s name mean “sun origin” and it is often referred to as the “Land of the Rising Sun”.

The official, and main spoken language in Japan is Japanese, which has a variety of regional dialects. The main cities of Japan are Tokyo and Kyoto, both of which are particularly favoured among tourists. The countryside is also known for its cultural sites.

Other Ways Of Shipping To Japan

Of course, there are various ways of shipping to Japan, and it is important to make yourself aware of all of the available options, as some may be better suited to your personal circumstances. Here are just a few alternative ways for you to choose from:

Traditional International Removals

If you happen to be relocating to Japan on a permanent basis, perhaps with family or for work, you might consider transporting your possessions with a reputable international removals company. It’s the ideal option if you need to send a number of large, bulky items.

Ultimately, the cost and timescale of your shipment depends entirely on the scale of your move – it can vary greatly. Many traditional international removals companies will offer convenient door to door collection and delivery services – though it’s worth noting that some may require you to arrange transportation of your belongings to and from ports.

Send A Box To Japan

Not only does My Baggage ship personal effects to Japan, but we can send parcels and gifts, too. Why not send a thoughtful care-package to your loved one living overseas?

Prohibited and Non-Compensation Items

My Baggage gives you the freedom to ship your personal belongings all over the world, meaning you can send almost everything you would typically find in a standard holiday suitcase. However, for security and customs reasons, there are certain items which are prohibited and cannot be carried; as is standard with most shipping companies.

As a general rule, you can be sure that the following items are prohibited:

Aerosols
Animal Products
Cash, Credit Cards, Debit Cards
Dangerous Goods
Hazardous Goods
Liquids
Medicines
Passports and other confidential personal documentation
Perishable Foods
Plants

It is important to keep in mind that although some items can be carried on our services, some are not covered under our compensation cover and so are sent at your own risk. If you choose to send any non-compensation items, please ensure they are packaged appropriately, with plenty of internal packaging for fragile items.

Find out more about My Baggage’s prohibited and non-compensation items.

Please note that import allowances, security and customs processes differ all around the world; we recommend that you do your own personal research into what may be prohibited in your destination country before booking your shipment to Japan.

What type of packaging can be used?

When sending your belongings to Japan with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong boxes to package your items so as they are suitable for transit.

We advise against using fragile or expensive suitcases, as packaging is not covered under our compensation cover. With regards to boxes, it’s always best to invest in a new, sturdy, double-walled cardboard box as they are most durable and suitable for transit.

If you are sending fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers.

Japanese Customs Information

When shipping goods to Japan, you are legally required to complete and send a customs declaration with your shipment. Whether you’re sending personal effects or a gift to a loved one; if your shipment does not have a customs invoice attached, it will not make it past your local country border, and you may have to pay return charges to get it back. My Baggage will automatically provide you with the appropriate customs documents for you to complete, print, sign and attach to your shipment when you send your luggage to Japan.

Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs in a timely manner, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects. However, as customs processes and allowance are different around the world, and because My Baggage has no control over any decisions made, we do advise doing your own research into Japanese customs regulations and quarantine before booking your shipment to Japan. Please make yourself aware of potential customs duties in Japan.

Please note that shipments to Japan with a declared value of over $2000 will not be eligible for duty relief and may incur additional charges during customs clearance.
