Use bought clothes before leaving Japan

Hi guys

I bought some trainers because my feet hurt, but after I got the tax money back they sealed the bag...

Can't I use those before leaving?

Thanks a lot!

What are you talking about??

Keep the tags and the receipt and it should be fine.

you have to pay the sales tax.

You can wear your shoes clothes or use your items without a problem.

They are supposed to, but won't actually check your tax free items at the airport. Probably due to lack of manpower or just can't be bothered to.

Also the tax free receipts stapled to your passport? back in 2012 was the last time the customs officer removed them for me. Then between 2012 until recently they didn't bother with the receipts at all. But yesterday at Kansai airport the customs officer told me to remove the receipts myself and drop them into the box (and had to line up again) but still didn't check my tax free items.

During my trip to Japan last year and last February, the airport staff in the airport didn't even bother to look at the things I was claiming tax-free for. They just took the receipts attached to my passport.

Thank you guys that is awesome to know! Walked a lot already, Japan is wonderful

Cheers
