Since Itami Airport is a domestic airport now, so it has no Immigration or Customs facilities for scheduled passengers flights.
Minus a few special flights (if I recall), all International Passengers connecting to Domestic flights must clear Immigration and Customs at NRT (since it would be impossible to do so at ITM, plus there are other passengers on the ITM flight from NRT who are local domestic passengers not international ones).
