THREE TYPES OF TAXES ARE DUE ON IMPORTED PRODUCTS.
1. Tariffs
A tariff is a tax imposed on imported products. The taxable basis is either the customs value
(=the price of the food itself + insurance + freight charges) or the volume. For more complete
information, consult the Customs Tariff Schedules of Japan.
* The Customs Tariff Schedules of Japan is published by the Japan Tariff Association (TEL: 03-3263-7221)
2. Liquor Tax
Products treated as alcoholic beverages under provisions of the Liquor Tax Law are subject
to liquor tax on a volume basis when imported.
3. Consumption Tax
Consumption tax (5%) is imposed on the sum of the customs value and any applicable tariff (or
liquor taxes, in some cases).
In principle, neither tariffs nor consumption tax are due when the customs value is under
10,000 yen, whether the item is being imported for business or personal purposes.
* Alcoholic beverages are also exempt from tariffs and consumption tax if the value is under 10,000 yen, but
they still are subject to liquor taxes.
