Ordering Parts from Japan

[kmoney_imp]

Anyone possessing valid ID that shows they live at the same address as on the package can sign for the same package. Usually if it's a detached home or your actual apartment door and they answer the door the couriers seem to consider this good enough. The only time you can get burned is by the timeout dates for holding (UPS is 3 delivery attempts, USPS is hold for 30 days at PO, IIRC, before sent back). Customs will always just be hit or miss with sporadic duty enforcement.

If you want to calculate your "worst case scenario" for customs try a site like this:

These guys actually list motorcycle parts and accessories as being duty free, so maybe they are their own class of product. I ship alot to the States for my Ebay store, but never MC stuff, so not sure.
