Hi there,
I would like to order passes but I'm guessing based on the website they will be exported from the UK.
Can anybody in EU confirm they received no import (custom) tax since it is classified as "document"?
The way I understand is if its a "ticket" customs apply (might be wrong). If it is just a paper document for later exchange then no import tax applies.
Can anybody from EU confirm this? Safe to order? ;)
Thank you very much
Hi there,
There is no import duties or tax on the JR Pass.
You are effectively buying a train ticket in Japan, as such there is no customs value.
Kind regards,
Daniel
