Next time I buy these consumables tax-free, I'm tempted to take the individual contents out of the sealed bag so that I could place them separately for much more efficient packing.

Anyways, please keep reporting more anecdotes on this.
I should note that I was actually quite surprised that was it, given the situation. I handed over the slip last month, but the goods were bought a while before.

Trip:

2X-Jun- YVR-NRT (goods purchased)
2X-Jun- NRT-CPH (forgot to hand in slip on exit)
0X-Aug- LHR-NRT
0X-Aug- NRT-PVG (second chance, still slipped my mind)
2X-Aug- PVG-KIX/ITM-NRT (long story)
2X-Aug- NRT-LAX (finally hand in slip)

And they took it without even asking why I waited two months and two trips to hand it in.
