Announcement Regarding the Discontinuation of Separate Shipping Handling in the Consumption Tax Exemption System

2025/3/21
From April 1st, 2025, you will not be eligible for tax-free shopping if you send your tax-free items back home on your own via international parcels. You will have to present the tax-free items at customs during customs examination if requested.
*Thus, delivery slips can't be used to prove that you have sent your tax-free items back home and thus you are eligible for tax-free.
*You are eligible if the retailer directly sends the tax-free items back home.

Please refer to this leaflet for more details.
