Tax Free Shopping
Participating Sapporo PARCO shops complete their own tax-free procedures; there is no central duty-free counter. Look for the Tax Free sign and ask the shop about its procedure.
For purchases made through October 31, 2026, eligible nonresident visitors can buy qualifying general goods tax free when one day’s purchases at the same shop total at least 5,000 yen before tax. Consumables qualify when purchases at the same shop total from 5,000 to 500,000 yen before tax. Bring your passport and complete the procedure at the participating shop on the purchase day.
For purchases made from November 1, 2026, Japan uses a refund method. Shoppers pay the tax-inclusive price, carry the goods out of Japan within 90 days and obtain customs confirmation when departing. The shop or its refund provider refunds the consumption-tax equivalent after that confirmation. The minimum remains 5,000 yen before tax per shop per day, while the consumables category, special packaging and 500,000-yen ceiling are abolished. Ask the participating shop how its refund will be delivered.
