Mail from Japan and Parcelforce update. Am i free from custom/duty charges?

Question:


I imported some personal stuff from Japan and I got this update from Parcelforce


08-04-2011 18:42 National Hub Received and processed
08-04-2011 12:03 International Hub Received in destination country
07-04-2011 01:54 Delivery Agent - Tokyo Forwarded for export
06-04-2011 15:27 Delivery Agent - JAPAN Collected from customer

Does this mean I mail has cleared customs and is on its way to me? The last update was more than 24 hours ago is it because Parcelforce staff are off during saturdays? thanks!

Answer:


I'm not 100% sure on this but I think that you have to wait for delivery to see if there are any charges. I have never found out about duty fees on items coming into Japan until they were standing at my door with the package in hand.
