Do I have to pay duty to send things to China in Japan?

According to the provisions of the tax law, at present, China imposes import tax on the luggage and postal articles of inbound passengers, referred to as postal tax, which is the general name of customs duties, value-added tax and consumption tax that should be paid. Generally speaking, the postal tax rate is much lower than the total tax rate of customs duties, value-added taxes and consumption taxes levied on general trade imports. Therefore, in the collection of postal tax, carrying and mailing are the same.

Postal tax payable = dutiable price * tax rate

The postal tax rate of piano is 10%, and the duty-paid price is determined by the customs with reference to the overseas average retail price of the article. If the customs value is determined to be 20,000 yuan as you said, the postal tax payable is 20,000 *10% = 2,000 yuan.

The tax mentioned above refers to the tax levied in China at the time of entry. As for the Japanese tax that should be paid in Japan's export links, it is necessary to follow Japanese laws.

In addition, the mailing fee is charged by the sender according to the Japanese mailing fee standard and needs to be consulted with the Japanese side.

In addition, generally speaking, the cost of air transportation is much higher than that of sea transportation.
