on the bright side, i'm pretty sure CITES (for japan) is mainly just for tax refund purposes so if you're willing to forgo the 5% rebate you can still bring it home. that has been my experience. however, my disclaimer is that i don't live in the states which might have stricter controls on wildlife import?

thank you everone who has contributed to the thread, very useful for my trip in a few weeks :)

Apologies, I went earlier in the year and can't remember. With resellers, it's hit / miss, with a pinch of luck. That's the part whereby you never know what you may find ;) Hope you find what you're looking for, my advice would be to visit as many as you can :graucho:

I saw from the Asia Price thread that a 35cm Birkin costs 1,040,000YEN in Japan. Does anyone know whether this price has included VAT? If not, what's the % of VAT? How much tax refund can a tourist get please? TIA
