By right duty free goods has to be with you all the time but the thing is most of us will have all these items check in to the plane. Just a snapshot of the items ba, when shipping goods you will need to declare the items on the shipping form.

Make sure you dont ship prohibited or tax invasion items, Singapore custom will check

And if you know sure overload why not bring an extra luggage and pay for the extra luggage when coming back? Postal service in japan the last i check for 30kg the shipping cost is around SGD$280

take note that gst is payable for total shipment value over sgd400 including shipping charges.

sgd600 limit only applies to sg travellers returning to changi airport

EMS or SAL quote?

My thinking is to ship back the non-essential things i bring to japan and use the space instead for the new things i get there. I think at most 5kg max to ship back.

Already planning to bring 2nd luggage inside main luggage.
