Hi people of Reddit,
I’m moving to Japan in a few days for a long period and wanted to import my pc and some other minor belongings.
I checked with companies like fedex and dhl, but they have increased their prices recently in my country to the point it would cost about half of what my pc worth.
I came up with another solution that is to add another suitcase to my flight and disassemble my pc, load it in my extra suitcase and rebuild it in my apartment.
I already checked with my flight company and they allow it but they suggested to check about japans customs as they do not know if they will allow it.
I checked and I saw that technically you can import those, but you need to declare electronics at customs. I also saw some redditor that said he didn’t declare anything and was fine, but I’m coming to the country with basically 2 suitcases, so I’m more likely to be stopped. I have my visa and my new address, so
Can anyone give advice on whether I should declare it or not?
