4. Customs clearance of international cargo

4-1 To handle foreign cargo as domestic cargo an import procedure must be adhered to.

Import duty will be charged for goods to be consumed in Japan or used for more than 1 year in Japan. Each sailing federation shall bear import costs (such as customs clearance, duty, consumption tax etc.) and JSAF will never bear such costs.

4-2 Re-export of goods which are imported temporarily

Goods which duty is exempted and imported temporarily need to be re-exported in the same condition as before. If goods are stolen or sold after re-export duty exemption or imported as ATA Carnet, import duty will be charged. Each sailing federation will be responsible for it.

4-3 ATA Carnet

ATA Carnet is a document for customs clearance based on international rule “Buppin no ichijiyunyu no tame no tsukan techou ni kannsuru tsuukan jouyaku (ATA Treaty)“, which is agreed among major countries. Once you get an ATA Carnet in your country, you can pass import/export customs clearance in Japan easily and quickly as it will be treated as duty exemption. JSAF strongly recommends you to use this structure if you are from ATA member country.

5.Necessary documents

For the transport of international cargo, you will need following documents. Please send the documents one month prior to the arrival date of cargo.

  • Invoice, ATA Carnet

  • Fees and payment

Please fill in the attached【Order Form】 and send it to the YGL Contact 1 month prior to the arrival date of cargo. YGL will contact you and send a quotation within a week.

You will need to pay the fee related to domestic cost in advance. Please pay in Japanese Yen before the delivery including the fees for tax such as duty, consumption tax etc., which will be incurred during import customs clearance. After your payment, we will arrange the delivery. If you ask YGL to handle cargo from your country to Japan as international intermodal transport, you may be able to pay in your country. Please ask YGL. If you will not use YGL, please pay directly from each sailing federation.

6.Insurance

Cargo will be delivered only when it has transportation insurance. Please ask YGL when you apply for the logistic of cargo. YGL will give you a quotation. As for insurance other than logistics, each sailing federation should arrange it.
