How much does it cost to ship clothes from China to Japan?

Textiles go on their own sea DDP channel at the general cargo reference price, from CN¥18/kg (min. 101 kg), and air DDP for general cargo is from CN¥27/kg (min. 51 kg). Both include Japanese duty and import consumption tax. Branded goods are quoted separately.

Is there import duty on clothing in Japan?

Yes. Clothing, shoes and leather goods are dutiable, at a rate set by the HS code, plus 10% import consumption tax. On our DDP lanes both are included in the freight, so the consignee pays nothing on delivery.

Can I put different styles in one carton?

Not on sea DDP: each carton must hold one SKU only. Pack each style in its own cartons before sending them to our warehouse.

What do you need from me for sea DDP?

The purchase link and selling price of each product, the carton count with each carton's dimensions and weight, and the delivery address in Japan.

Can you ship branded clothing, shoes or bags?

Branded clothing, shoes, bags and hats with brand labels are quoted separately. Send us the product details and photos of the labels.

Can apparel go to Amazon FBA Japan?

Yes. Air and sea DDP deliver to Amazon warehouses in Japan, and the warehouse can apply your FBA labels before shipping.

Fibre-Content Labels and Duty

Clothing and textiles sold in Japan need fibre-content labels under the Household Goods Quality Labeling Act (家庭用品品質表示法); that is the importer's or seller's responsibility. Clothing, shoes and leather goods carry customs duty set by their HS code, and RCEP lowers the rate for eligible goods from China. The usual exemption for shipments with a taxable value of ¥10,000 or less does not cover some leather goods and knitwear.
