📋 Direct Answer
Japan import duties on Chinese goods vary by HS code. Japan has MFN rates and some preferential rates under RCEP (since 2022). Common rates: textiles 5-15%, electronics 0-5%, machinery 0%. RCEP provides gradual tariff reduction on many categories. Japan de minimis: ¥10,000 per shipment. Consumption tax (10%) applies on all imports.
