Film Shooters In Japan

[dogbunny]

Thanks, any idea on import tax for ordering from B&H?

I've never paid an import tax for my film orders. I usually keep the total order at or around ¥20,000. Maybe I've just been lucky. I'm not sure.

The law is actually about to change in order to protect domestic (to Japan) merchants. Not sure if B&H will be hit but the buzz on the street is that anything from Amazon will get hit with Japan's 8% (and soon to be 10%) consumption tax rate. I believe the law states that anything bought from overseas is subject to the new law.

NOTE: This is not an import tax... which ironically should be lowered due to the new trade agreement. 😵

Both Fotoimpex and Macodirect do international shipping.
And have the best prices in Europe.
Also excellent service from both.
Maybe worth a look even with shipping to Japan and tax.

And another +1 for Silversalt in Japan. Highly recommended.
