Import duty on jewellery from India to Japan

Silver jewellery is classified under HS 7113.11. Into Japan it pays 5.2% duty, on consignments above ¥10,000. 5.2% normal duty on silver jewellery. The India Japan CEPA may reduce this with a certificate of origin, and you should confirm the current schedule with a Japanese broker before relying on it. Consumption tax of 10% applies on the goods, shipping and duty. Consignments valued at ¥10,000 or less are free of duty and tax.

Yes. Consumption tax of 10% is charged on the customs value plus the duty. A business registered for the tax can usually reclaim it, which means the real cost of importing is the duty and the fees alone.

It depends on the shipping terms. If Argentia ships delivered duty paid, we pay the duty and any tax at the border and nothing is due when the courier delivers. If the order ships on standard terms, the courier bills the buyer before handing over the parcel. For Japan we quote both ways so you can see the difference.

It uses the rates in force on 4 October 2026 and the fee schedules published by customs and the main couriers. Rates change, couriers change their fees, and classification can differ by piece. Treat it as an estimate and confirm with a licensed broker before you ship.
