Handling of Import Declarations Related to RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) which entered into force on January 1, 2022
|
As of Jan 1 2022, when applying the RCEP preferential tax rate to imported goods whose total taxable price per declaration exceeds 200,000 yen, customers will be required to prepare and submit the following documents;
- the certificate of origin, or
- the declaration of origin and its attachment at the time of import declaration.
If the imported shipment is a RCEP preferential tax rate applicable item, and you wish to apply the preferential tax rate, please prepare the above necessary documents and contact DHL Customer Service before the baggage arrives in Japan. The declaration of origin template and its attachment can be found at Japan Customs website (Japanese only). Please note that the RCEP tax rate cannot be applied after customs clearance. (Because the request for correction to the RCEP tax rate is not accepted)
If you do not require DHL’s assistance with the RCEP preferential tax rate application before import declaration, or wish to only apply for the general agreement tax rate, please contact your sales representative or customer service.
For more information regarding RCEP rules of origin and required documents, please refer to the related customs authorities. In advance of importation, you may refer to Customs regarding the origin of a good.

Notice of Import Customs Clearance regarding JP-EU EPA and TPP11 (CPTPP)
|
Regarding shipments from EU or other TPP11 membership countries with declared customs value exceeding JPY 200,000 (*1), importers will be required to submit Certificate of Origin and Statement on Origin or other related documents as evidence of origination in order to apply for treatment of JP-EU EPA or TPP11 duty-rate(*2).
If customers wish to import goods applicable for EU-JP EPA or TPP11, please prepare the necessary documents and contact DHL Customer Service before shipment arrival in JP. Please note that request for reassessment for the treatment of JP-EU EPA is not accepted at JP Customs if the shipment already has import permission without JP-EU EPA treatment.
Unfortunately, we are unable to answer inquiries regarding the Rules of Origin for EPA/TPP11 or Self-Certification System, so please check with JP Customs, relevant ministries and agencies or JETRO.
DHL will not be able to create the Certificate of Origin or Statement on Origin on behalf of customer, so please prepare the documents by yourself.
If you wish to use Advance Ruling on Origin which is provided by JP Customs, please contact JP Customs.
(*1) If the declared Customs value for one single declaration is less than JPY 200,000, importers will be able to omit the submission of Certificate of Origin and Statement on Origin.
(*2) Regarding the document format of Certificate of Origin and Statement on Origin, please refer to the JP Customs Website.
Those customers who request arrival notice to confirm EPA/TPP tariff rate applicability for importing shipments, and/or those customers who request MFN tariff such as WTO rate instead of using EPA/TPP tariff rate for importing shipments subject value of which are not greater than JPY200,000, are kindly required to present “EPA/TPP tariff rate instruction sheet” to DHL Japan before Import declaration.
