I have some gear to return to Wiggle - stuff that my wife ordered in multiple sizes to try on. We ended up paying quite a bit of duty on it as Wiggle listed the country of origin as Italy (even though it says made in Hungary/China on almost everything) so we got slapped with the Italian designer clothing duty rate for our lycra.
I am familiar with the Wiggle returns procedure, but would like to know if anybody has ever successfully managed to claim the duty back from Japanese Customs when sending stuff back (i.e. re-exporting) and if they did how they went about it? I have looked high and low on the Customs dept. website but can't find anything. If I can't do it I won't loose too much sleep over it but I suspect that I would be due about 4000yen back. So if I could do it for the cost of an email/stamp it would be very worthwhile.
Any tips appreciated!
