Importing from Japan: customs advice

Importing to the UK from Japan requires customs clearance.

A customs invoice is the document detailing the contents and value of your goods for customs purposes. Several copies of these are required, and we will produce them for you when you place an order, to be printed off and made available at the point of collection in Japan.

However, if you're an experienced importer and prefer to provide your own customs invoice then you are welcome to do so!
