                The OLIVE JAPAN International Olive Competition will acknowledge receipt of the samples. The OLIVE JAPAN International Olive Competition is not responsible for any shipping or customs charges and taxes. A licensed broker with applicable importing licenses must clear international shipments of the samples. If you have an importer it is best to use your own importer.<\/p>\n

                INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS REQUIRE:
                \nSAMPLE WAIVER:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0All sample shipments to JAPAN must be clearly declared as \u201cSAMPLE, NO COMMERCIAL VALUE, NOT FOR SALE<\/strong>\u201d in the applicable commercial invoices and pro-forma invoices and the packing list attached with the samples. OLIVE JAPAN has no responsibility to make proper custom clearance nor to prepare adequate shipping documents.
                \nYOU MUST DESIGNATE THAT YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR ALL JAPANESE CUSTOMS CHARGES AND TAXES ON YOUR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING DOCUMENTS OR AIRWAY BILL<\/strong> if your documents should not be properly prepared. The OLIVE JAPAN International Olive Competition and the Olive Oil Sommelier Association of Japan is not responsible for JAPANESE Customs & Brokerage Charges, Taxes and other handling charges and if this is not done properly, your shipment could be delayed until we receive payment for these charges. If the shipment is large enough for commercial airfreight, we must collect estimated tax, duty and customs charges in advance. The commercial value for samples is typically one Euro per bottle and this should be stated on a pro-forma invoice.<\/p>\n

                OLIVE JAPAN strongly advise to use DHL to ship your samples to Japan.\u00a0 We had experienced huge damages and trouble of the samples shipped by FedEx=TNT, EMS and UPS.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
