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.
