FAQ

Even though I already paid Goods and Service Tax (GST) or Value Added Tax (VAT) to Rakuten Global Express, I was asked to pay it again during import declaration or delivery of the goods. What should I do?

If you already paid the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to Rakuten Global Express, but the delivery company re-invoices you upon import declaration or arrival of the items, we will refund the amount via payment method you used (credit card, etc.), cash transfer to your Japanese bank account, or refund by Rakuten points (time limited points).

The shipping history page with the receipt you paid to the logistics company, and click “In case of duplicate payment of Goods and Services Tax (GST) ”or “Value Added Tax (VAT)” to contact us.

*Refunds are only available in cases where Rakuten Global Express collects Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT) on the customer's behalf in advance. Please click here for a list of eligible countries.
