No specific restrictions for personal textiles (commercial). Quantity guidance for Japan: Personal use. Documentation: Commercial invoice; Packing list; Country-of-origin declaration. Allowed status assumes personal-use quantities — commercial-scale amounts move the entry into formal import procedures with duty and documentation. Arrival checks are carried out by Japan Customs (Ministry of Finance); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties. Leaving Japan with textiles (commercial) is a separate question: restricted — Commercial-quantity textiles exported from Japan requires a commercial export declaration; samples at personal quantities move informally.

Practical advice

Personal-use Textiles (Commercial) may be brought into Japan freely under the personal-effects allowance. Commercial-quantity carriage requires the standard commercial-import declaration with HS classification (typically HS Chapters 50-63 for textiles) and any applicable safeguard duties. Verify the specific tariff line at Japan Customs (Ministry of Finance) before commercial shipment.
