Hello
I entered Japan on my CDP by seacontainer at Osaka.
I already had it and I only knew it that way.
You need a translation from the JAF.
Well travelling in Japan is so slow due to a max 50km/h and no passing rule almost all over Japan.
I also enjoyed Japan so I wanted to stay longer than planned.
So thats where the CDP became a bitch.
It was running out on May 10th so I tried several options.
1.You can extend it via the JAF. But this takes several week and needs a good reason.
2.You can go over the time of the CDP and then the custom will not stamp out the CDP but will use instead this Form:
Customs Form C5014
Afterwards the JAF will ask your CDP issuer for the Tax, 5% of the value.
In my case this would have been 169 usd but I didn't wanna take the risk messing with a CDP.
3.Best is to get the Bike from the beginning on using Customs Form C5014.
Because I already was on the CDP the custom was unable to chsnge to Customs Form C5014.
Finally I left Japan as originally planned, not being able to eat as much sushi as I wanted.
Sorry for the bad Fotos.
I take no responsability if any of this information is wrong , that is what Osaka customs explained me, verify it for yourself before shipping to Japan.
