Other netizens explained that the tax-free amount for entry into Japan is 200,000 yen (approximately NT$42,000). Some people suggested that you can simply cut the label, put on new clothes, or leave it in Taiwan and pick it up following returning home.

a netizenIn the Facebook group “Japan Tohoku Free Travel Information Love Sharing (Aomori, Miyagi, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Fukushima)”, he posted that he recently traveled to Japan and bought clothes at the Taoyuan Airport duty-free shop before leaving the country. They spent regarding 70,000 yuan, but unexpectedly when they entered Sendai Airport in Japan, they were blocked and taxed when exiting customs. They had to pay a total of 44,000 yen, which made them dumbfounded on the spot.

Others commented, “Japanese customs thinks you are doing business, so they charge you tax. It’s normal.” “The duty-free limit for entry into Japan is 200,000 yen. The current exchange rate is regarding NT$40,000. It exceeds the tax. Be careful and you may return to Taiwan. “I’ll be taxed once more”, “Leave it in the store and pick it up following returning to your country? It should be OK”, “It will make people happy when the money goes away, you can wear it first next time”, “There will be no problem if you put it on directly following buying it! You are too naive.”

Netizens with similar experiences said, “If you cut the label, you won’t be taxed, because many people bring clothes and bags to Japan from abroad (running single gang). I have friends who were caught running single gang. It’s okay not to pay taxes. That is, the goods are left at the customs and you can pick them up and bring them back when you leave the customs.”

Others were curious, “Why is it okay to carry an LV bag worth NT$100,000?” Others commented, “Actually, most of them are okay. People get caught if they are unlucky or too obvious.” “It’s okay if you use it. Same thing.” It will be fine if the moderator’s clothes are worn on the body. If the tag is not worn and the tag is not cut off, the customs can reasonably suspect that you are bringing it into Japan for sale.”
