日本税务和法规注意事项

重要提示:本页的信息不得视为税费、法律或其他专业建议,也不得作为此类用途使用。如果您有任何疑问,应咨询您的专业顾问。

本节将介绍在日本开店的卖家需注意的关税与税率、违禁品和针对非日本居民的要求。

关税与税率制度

卖家有责任遵守日本所有海关法律法规,包括适用的关税和税收规定。进口到日本的所有商品都需要缴纳进口消费税。某些商品还需要缴纳关税。《海关关税法》中的协调分类制度既规定了特定商品的分类,也规定了相应的关税税率。进口商品的应付消费税金额的计算依据是,商品的海关完税价值加上应付关税以及其他适用的应付货物税。当酒类、烟草制品、石油和液化石油气 (LPG) 等类别的商品进口到日本时,根据相关法律的规定,也可能需要针对其征收货物税。在此类情况下,应付税款将根据进口商品的数量进行计算。

非居民要求

居住在日本境外(非日本居民),使用亚马逊物流 (FBA) 的卖家,如果想要进口商品到亚马逊的日本运营中心进行商品储存或配送订单,则必须首先向海关署长指定一名受托人(代表)/代理,允许这名代理代表卖家进口商品。上述流程须在进口商品之前完成。一般而言,任何一名日本居民都可以被指定为受托人或代理,且此人有责任完成进口报关流程,并代表非日本居民卖家缴纳关税和税费。亚马逊或其在日本的任何实体都不得作为报关单证上的海关登记进口商,只能由使用亚马逊物流的卖家或其指定代理担当。

卖家有责任遵守日本所有海关法律法规。

海关

当您将货物进口到日本时,需要遵守日本的所有海关法律法规。您无权以亚马逊的名义进口,也无权在任何报关文件上将亚马逊列为申报者、海关登记进口商或收货人。

Japan Tax and Regulatory Considerations

Important: Information on this page does not constitute tax, legal, or other professional advice and must not be used as such. You should consult your professional advisers if you have any questions.

This section covers tariff and duty rates, prohibited goods, and non-residential requirements for sellers interested in selling in Japan.


Tariff and duty rates system

It is the seller's responsibility to comply with all Japanese customs laws and regulations, including applicable duty and tax requirements. Any goods imported into Japan are subject to the Import Consumption Tax. Some goods are subject to customs duties. The harmonized classification schedule in the Customs Tariff Law sets forth both the classification and the corresponding customs duty rate of particular products. The amount of consumption tax payable on imported goods is calculated on the basis of the customs value of the goods plus customs duty payable and, where applicable, other excise taxes payable. When certain kinds of goods, such as liquor, tobacco products, petroleum, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), are imported into Japan, excise taxes may also be imposed as stipulated in the respective law concerned. In these cases, the amount of taxes payable is calculated based on the quantities of the imported goods.

Prohibited goods

Japan strictly forbids the importation of certain goods. Please refer to Import Procedures for additional information.

Non-resident requirements

A Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) seller who lives outside of Japan (non-residents) and would like to import goods into an Amazon Japan fulfillment center for storage and order fulfillment must first designate a proxy (attorney) or agent to the Director-General of Customs, allowing the agent to import on the seller's behalf. This must be accomplished in advance of any importations. In general, any person who is a resident of Japan can be appointed as the proxy or agent, but this person is obliged to complete the import declarations and pay duties and taxes on behalf of the non-resident seller. Neither Amazon nor any of its entities in Japan may act as the importer of record on the customs declaration-only the FBA seller or their designated agent.

It is the seller's responsibility to comply with all Japan customs laws and regulations.

Customs

When you import goods into Japan, you must comply with all Japanese customs laws and regulations. You are not authorized to import goods in the name of Amazon or to show Amazon as the declarant, importer of record, or consignee on any customs documentation.

Visit Japan Customs for useful information regarding importing goods to Japan.

Note: The listed price of your products must include all applicable charges and taxes.
