Shipping art overseas - Invoice creation edition -




Due to this chance, I will be participating in an overseas group exhibition for the first time.


After receiving a valuable opportunity,

The process from shipping works overseas to arriving at the destination

I would like to write this down here as my own memorandum.

In addition to the personal purposes mentioned above,


■I want to present my work overseas

■Looking for customers overseas

■Working on cross-border e-commerce


I will share information with others and update the content from time to time based on my own experiences.

Everyone who reads this blog

We hope to provide useful articles that are directly connected to your goals and objectives.

I want to start writing with hope and purpose.





However, there is something I would like to disclaim first.

I have only used Japan Post's EMS to send packages overseas .

The reason is because I wanted to include the size of the baggage + freight and a compensation guarantee system .

I haven't used a courier yet

I cannot respond to the comparison with EMS.

note that





2. Regarding invoice creation in EMS.


Once you have successfully packed your items, the next step is to create an invoice .

This is a statement of contents required for declaration to customs and inspection.

At the time of customs clearance, the contents and their value must be declared correctly as they will be checked by the customs office.

(This is because there will be work to confirm that there are no discrepancies between the contents of the document and the contents later.)

In addition, the local consumption tax, etc. to be paid by the recipient (recipient) will be determined depending on the price of the contents.





You can create an invoice from your PC or smartphone.

Access and register for Japan Post's "International Mail My Page Service"

Then, the document creation will begin in the following order.


① Client selection (your own postal code, address, telephone number, etc.)

②Delivery destination selection ( shipping destination postal code, address, phone number, etc. )

✓③ Contents registration

④Shipping information registration

⑤Registration details confirmation/registration

⑥Invoice printing

⑦Complete


Enter the following in this order:

① to ③ are alphabetical input.

(You can already see an input example of how to write an overseas address, so please follow it ☺)


Shipping destination zip code (ZIP CODE) and phone number are required.

becomes

The number of digits varies depending on the country

Please check with the other party for the detailed number.

In particular, overseas postal codes (ZIP CODE) are often overlooked.

*If you don't know, you can search using ZIP CODE LOOK UP .

Please take advantage of it

(You can search the postal code of each country)


There are areas where errors are likely to occur while creating on a PC or smartphone.

✓③ Contents registration

Here you will be asked for the following details:


1. Contents name

2. Unit price (Japanese yen accepted)

3. Weight g/piece

4.HS code

5. Quantity

6. Content type

7. Tax declaration price


I will explain each item in detail.

First of all, the name of the contents of 1. is Art works in alphabetical notation.

It is better to also write down the material at that time (e.g. Works on Paper, etc.)

2. Enter the weight of the package after packing.

3. Select the HS code that is closest to your work.

(Unfortunately, art works are not listed)

Choose one that is close to your own shape

By the way, I classified it as a poster.

This code is not currently required outside of Europe

4. For the tax declaration price, enter the total amount of the contents in Japanese yen.


With EMS, you can add liability insurance to your package.

Free up to 20,000 yen, after that you will have to pay an additional charge of 50 yen for every 20,000 yen.

You can increase the maximum amount




If you cannot create it on your PC or smartphone,

You can also rent a tablet at the post office and create one.

It's reassuring to know that if you don't understand something, you can immediately ask a staff member.

You can also have the exact weight of your luggage measured and recorded.

I think it will take about 15 minutes to complete the input process.


This is the invoice creation part for EMS.


next time

About tracking display after shipping

I would like to write based on this case.

Please continue to enjoy.
