No specific restrictions for personal toys (ce marking)
Details
No specific restrictions for personal toys (ce marking). Quantity guidance for Japan: Personal use. Documentation: Commercial invoice; Conformity certificate (CE/UKCA/FCC/KC/PSE/CCC/BIS/SASO as applicable); HS classification. 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 toys (ce marking) is a separate question: allowed — Toys may be exported from Japan freely at personal-use quantities.

Practical advice
Commercial-quantity Toys (CE Marking) may be imported into Japan through the standard commercial-import framework. Registered importers file the commercial entry via Japan Customs (Ministry of Finance) with the applicable HS classification and the destination's electrical conformity certification (e.g. CE, UKCA, FCC, KC, PSE, CCC, BIS, SASO/SABER depending on destination). Personal-quantity carriage clears under the personal-effects allowance.
