Hello all,

Please forgive my ignorance. I am traveling solo to Tokyo(NRT) in this coming June. My greatest fear is something going terribly wrong when I'm getting ready to enter the country. I know the process(quarantine, immigration, then customs) but I am afraid that I'm not sure what I should declare. I have read many of the provided documents at http://www.customs.go.jp/english/index.htm but I find myself confused when it comes to the items that I should declare.

Besides clothes and other regular baggage items that will be in my checked baggage, I have many personal items that will be on my person at all times during my time in the airport. Mainly I have have camera equipment worth a net total of about $3000-$3500. Although I read the Japanese customs and declarations form, I am not fully understanding what is considered "duty-free" and what isn't. Among the mentioned camera equipment is:
1 Mirrorless camera
1 GoPro
1 camera bag
7 camera lenses
2 tripods
and several camera accessories(SD cards, batteries, etc.)

I read the customs declaration form's instructions stating that "Goods for personal use that were purchased abroad with a total market value not exceeding ￥200,000" was considered duty-free. However, just my lenses cost more than that.

That said, can anyone offer any insight on what I should be declaring? Is it everything in my carry-on(accessories included)? Is it just the things that make up the difference exceeding ￥200,000? Most importantly, will I owe any money? If so why?

Sorry for being so clueless, I just want to avoid a catastrophe by being properly informed. Never traveled to Japan before so I'm kinda getting psyched out over every little thing that I don't know.

Thanks in advance,
