Shipping
On the subject of shipping goods from the U.S.A. to Japan as unaccompanied baggage, reader Carol says that if you fly on United Airlines, they can provide you with the unaccompanied baggage forms.
Passengers should ask a flight attendant, and they will receive two copies. These need to be filled out before landing in Japan, and turned in when going through customs at the airport. The boxes will then be delivered to your home tax free.
