精炼中心交易中心消费市场

Refining, trading and consumer hub. Gold imports are duty-free but carry 10% consumption tax at the border (7.8% national + 2.2% local); domestic sales also carry 10% and exports are zero-rated, so undeclared imports sold to dealers make the tax a profit and re-export earns a refund. Controls: passenger declaration of any gold; written FEFTA/customs declaration for hand-carried bullion of 90%+ gold over 1 kg; unpermitted import punishable by fines up to 10 million yen or five times the value; dealer input-credit restrictions (2019, 2024); APTCP verification for precious-metal sales over 2 million yen; payment records for purchases over 2 million yen; serial-numbered gold declared under its own statistical code with invoices or packing lists listing the serial numbers (imports from 1 Apr 2026, exports from 1 Aug 2026). Sanctions: import of Russian-origin gold shipped from Russia since 1 Aug 2022 and export of gold to Russia need MOF permission (MOF Notice 443). OSE Gold Standard Futures deliver 1 kg 99.99% designated-brand bars in designated Tokyo warehouses. Seizures: 2024 494 cases / 1,334 kg (final), 2025 192 cases / 425 kg (preliminary), mostly from Hong Kong. Exports reached about 2.7 trillion yen / 229 t in 2024 against imports of 9 t.

  • The law taxes every import at 10%, but smugglers skip the import tax and sell to dealers at tax-inclusive prices, keeping the tax as profit; when the gold is then exported, the exporter recovers the tax paid on purchase, so the loss to the Treasury repeats. Seizures rose from 12 cases (2013) to 1,347 cases / 6,277 kg (2017), fell to 5 cases / 27 kg in 2021 after the April 2018 penalty increase, rose to 494 cases / 1,334 kg in 2024 and fell to 192 / 425 kg in 2025.
