Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you!

I bought a few items Tax Free and the store has sealed it in a transparent plastic bag. Passport was presented and receipt is issued at time of shopping. Due to the volume of the facial cream exceeds the hand carry limit, I have to check in the sealed bag when I leave Japan in NRT airport. I try to look up the proper procedure in this situation, the only one applicable is gc. If you plan to put your duty-free items in your checked baggage, please inform the airline staff at the check-in counter before checking in your luggage. A customs officer will come to the check-in counter to check your duty-free items.h Please advise if this is still the proper way to clear the customs. | |||

Just check in the duty free items and scan your entry stamp QR code in your passport at the customs counter after security at the airport | |||

I have never been asked to produce any of the duty free items all my trips (already visited twice this year). I can't comment about high value duty free items as mine are just foodstuff and ordinary everyday use kind of items. | |||

Ifve never seen anyone being inspected and Ifve heard very few stories of someone being inspected, compared to the hundreds of accounts Ifve read of no inspection. | |||

It all goes in checked luggage - no issues. Applies to things like knives, whiskey and a host of other things not allowed in your carry-on. You will not be asked to present the items when leaving. | |||

They can't check everything. So, my understanding is that they will check only people with a suspicious shopping pattern, although occesional random checks may also occur. And around next spring at the earliest, the system is expected to change to a get-a-refund-at-the airport system. | |||
