Sending a leather Jacket through Japanese Customs to be repaired?

[cbez]

When you shipped it did you correctly fill out the details like made in Japan and the harmonization #? Is it specified in the docs that it's a return for repair?

Seems silly that RMC doesn't have a process in place for this to at least communicate with customs.

Real McCoys told me to just say it was a repair. Didn't say it was made in Japan.

I agree with you that there's no need for a bigger zipper but RMC will almost certainly put the stock zipper back on it.

Wolf could ask the repair shop he's using to order a Conmar-marked Ideal #5 or Universal-marked YKK #5 and be in good shape.

Yes. Do you think I should pull the plug and just have the jacket sent back asap. I am worried that I will have to pay duties and tariffs on it to get it back to the US if RM fixes it because it seems none of these bureaucrats care that it is a used item I own.
