This is confusing..

can someone clarify the settings for google wallet?

Google JP won't check the address of your credit card.

they will charge a 200 Yen to check if your card is "LIVE" or not.

if the card accept the 200 YEN then they will charge the phone price and proceed the shipment.

Google US checks the address of your credit card. just like most of their retailer there. so your billing add must be the same.

Any goods coming into Singapore exceeding $400 in DECLARED value is subject to 7% GST

Source: I work in the logistics industry

If you are not billed for GST later, just keep it to yourself and count yourself lucky :D

My case is even more complicated.. cos i am using my friend's tenso account and i paid with my card.

but i am seeing the 200yen charge appearing.

So have to wait for it to get cleared

ps: ordered at 2am on 9 nov

It's against the law but people do it all the time. If it's less identifiable goods like clothings or footwear, you might get away with it. If the price of goods are readily available on the web like iPad or most electronics, do it at your own risk... you'll get a hefty fine if caught.

We do receive frequent requests from customers to declare below $400. :)

Hmmmm, I think tenso will put the description as personal electronics. So the customs will not check the value online.

Btw I humji I'll most probably declare full value.

I got caught buying ecig before.

ok, if your using google play japan and you do not have a google wallet account created prior, it will prompt you to create a new wallet, then after you have to add a credit card.
but it only accepts a jpn based address. as the handset is supposed to be for sales in japan only.

what most have done is to put the shipping forwarders jpn address in as the credit card address..... if you have done this, 2 issue might occur;

first; google verification for the card will fail ( your card is supposed to be having a SG address) and you acct will be sent for review.

second; which is the amazing part; google play will still be able to send a floating transaction to your credit card b4 you account is suspended. as you did in fact provide the correct info for the credit card billing, (ie CVV code, name , cc number).

the correct way is that will need to have a wallet acct setup first with your correct SG address but with the credit card for country set as Japan
in google wallet > payment method >add a credit card > choose the country as japan , in the address enter your complete SG residential address with the postal code in the text field
in the default drop down to select the cities, select tokyo if your using tenso, and use tenso postal code.
mobile number is not necessary.

when purchasing the nexus on playstore, select the correct card with the SG address and the shipping address to tenso.

you will no longer get the techinical difficulty encountered screen.

Siao liao I didn't use the correct way. :(
