Japan customs at a glance

What officers actually check. What we attach to every parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.

๐Ÿ“‹ Required Documents

  • We prepare very detailed ingredient lists for every pickle, spice powder and sweet โ€” Japan customs requires accurate declaration and we deliver it every time.
  • Every item is labelled with complete ingredient information in English โ€” this is what Japan customs inspectors need to clear food parcels.
  • Pure ghee and dairy-based items are declared honestly with full ingredient disclosure โ€” no shortcuts, no guessing, no delays.
  • We invoice your parcel correctly as personal-use food with accurate valuations โ€” underdeclaring is the biggest mistake, and we never make it.
  • Our documentation team has 25 years of experience clearing food parcels through strict customs worldwide โ€” Japan food clearance is something we approach with full care.

โš–๏ธ Quantity & Biosecurity

  • Commercially sealed packaged foods with full ingredient labels in English clear Japan customs more smoothly than homemade unlabelled items.
  • Dry spice powders, karam podi and other dry plant-based items have a better clearance record โ€” we advise on which items to include before you pack.
  • Personal-use quantities (small parcels, 2-5 kg) are treated more leniently than large commercial-sized shipments by Japan customs.
  • Pure cow ghee in factory-sealed containers with complete ingredient labels gives the best chance of clearance into Japan.
  • Always WhatsApp +91 99510 83676 before booking โ€” Japan food import rules are detailed and we check the current situation for your specific items.

๐Ÿšซ Common Hold Reasons in Japan

  • Items without complete ingredient labels in English or Japanese will be held or rejected by Japan customs โ€” we label every item properly before dispatch.
  • Fresh or semi-processed meat products cannot enter Japan โ€” stick to fully dry, oil-based or commercially sealed plant items to avoid rejection.
  • Parcels with undeclared items or incorrect valuations face the highest risk of rejection at Japan customs โ€” we declare everything accurately.
  • Large quantities that appear commercial rather than personal in nature attract closer inspection โ€” we advise on appropriate personal-use quantities.
  • Japan customs rules change periodically โ€” always confirm current rules for your specific items with us before booking to avoid disappointment.

Three-layer leak-proof packing

My parents in Kondapur sent a small box โ€” 2 kg of karam podi, putnala podi and packaged Andhra snacks โ€” to me in Osaka. SLP Express guided us on which items clear Japan customs. Everything declared correctly, arrived in 4 working days, cleared perfectly. 40% cheaper than DHL retail. I recommend them to all Indians in Japan.

Frequently asked questions โ€” pickle courier to Japan

Straight answers to what families in Hyderabad ask before they book.

Sending food from Hyderabad to Japan starts from โ‚น2,200 for a 0.5-1 kg parcel and โ‚น5,200 for 1-3 kg โ€” all-in with no hidden charges. Our wholesale rates are 40-60% cheaper than DHL Hyderabad or FedEx Hyderabad retail prices. A 5-10 kg shipment of spice powders and packaged food costs โ‚น14,500 total. Starting from ₹940 per kg with Aramex. Free home pickup and free packing always included. Before booking, WhatsApp +91 99510 83676 โ€” we guide you on which items are currently cleared for Japan so you get maximum value from your shipment.
Door to door delivery from Hyderabad to Tokyo, Osaka or Nagoya takes 4-6 working days via DHL Express or FedEx. We offer same-day pickup from all Hyderabad areas including Hitech City, Kondapur, Madhapur, Banjara Hills, Gachibowli, Secunderabad, Ameerpet, Kukatpally and all 50+ zones. Parcel dispatched the same day as pickup. Live tracking provided on every insured shipment. For festival bookings, schedule at least 12 days before the festival date to allow for any customs clearance time.
Yes โ€” our packing record is zero leaks across 25 years and 1 lakh+ international shipments. Every item is packed in edible-grade heat-sealed airtight pouches, then placed inside a 3-layer reinforced carton. Dry spice powders go in sealed bags. Sweets are individually wrapped and cushioned. Ghee is sealed in airtight containers. The box is tested before we hand it to DHL or FedEx. Free packing is included in every booking โ€” bring your food as-is and our team packs it at your Hyderabad home.
Japan customs is strict on food imports. Commercially packaged dry items with full ingredient labels have the best clearance record. Homemade pickles and unlabelled items face more scrutiny. We advise you on which specific items are safest to send โ€” karam podi, dry spice powders and packaged snacks with clear ingredient labels generally clear better than oil-heavy homemade pickles. We prepare accurate documentation and declare everything honestly to give your parcel the best chance. Rules may change โ€” WhatsApp +91 99510 83676 before booking to confirm what is currently allowed for your items.
Ghee and dairy-based sweets face more scrutiny at Japan customs compared to dry plant-based items. Factory-sealed ghee containers with complete ingredient labels have a better clearance record than homemade containers. We advise checking current Japan customs guidelines for dairy food imports before including ghee or milk-based sweets in your parcel. We declare every dairy item honestly and prepare all documentation correctly. Rules may change โ€” WhatsApp +91 99510 83676 before booking to confirm what is currently allowed for your items.
WhatsApp +91 99510 83676 with your approximate weight and list of items you want to send. We reply in under 5 minutes with a full quote โ€” and more importantly, we advise you on which items are currently safest to include for Japan clearance. This guidance alone saves customers from wasted shipments. Once you confirm, same-day free home pickup from anywhere in Hyderabad โ€” Ameerpet, SR Nagar, Tolichowki, Mehdipatnam, Manikonda, Charminar, Abids, Lakdikapul, Khairatabad, Somajiguda, Punjagutta or your area.
Yes โ€” free home pickup same day and free professional packing from all 50+ Hyderabad zones: Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Hitech City, Madhapur, Kondapur, Gachibowli, Begumpet, Secunderabad, Ameerpet, SR Nagar, Kukatpally, KPHB, Miyapur, Manikonda, Mehdipatnam, Tolichowki, Dilsukhnagar, Uppal, LB Nagar, Kompally, Alwal, Sainikpuri, Tarnaka, Bowenpally, Somajiguda, Punjagutta, Khairatabad and more. For Japan shipments, we take special care with labelling and ingredient documentation during packing.
For Japan, book at least 12-14 days before the festival date. Delivery takes 4-6 working days but Japan customs clearance can add 1-3 extra days for food parcels. We recommend building in extra time. For Diwali, we suggest booking 3 weeks early if sending items to Japan. WhatsApp +91 99510 83676 well before festival dates and we plan the shipment carefully with the right items and documentation to give your parcel the best chance of arriving on time.
Yes โ€” 40-60% cheaper. SLP Express holds 25-year bulk agreements with DHL Hyderabad, FedEx Hyderabad, Aramex Hyderabad and UPS Hyderabad at wholesale rates individuals cannot access. A 1-3 kg parcel to Japan costs โ‚น5,200 all-in with SLP โ€” versus โ‚น9,000-12,000+ at DHL Hyderabad retail. Plus free home pickup, free packing and customs documentation all included. Best rates in Hyderabad for Japan food courier. WhatsApp +91 99510 83676 to compare.
Based on our Japan shipment experience, commercially sealed dry items with full English ingredient labels have the best clearance record โ€” karam podi in sealed packets, dry spice powders, packaged Indian snacks with ingredient lists. Homemade oil-heavy pickles and fresh dairy items face more scrutiny. We strongly recommend calling or WhatsApp-ing us before packing anything for Japan โ€” we will tell you exactly what is safe to include based on the most current information we have. WhatsApp +91 99510 83676. We will guide you honestly so your parcel has the best chance of arriving smoothly.
