What is the sheet they attach in passport in tax-free shop? [duplicate] - Sticker with text have a nice day

So, I bought a laptop from Yodobashi Camera in Tokyo and since its a tax free shop, I got a discount of 8%(GST in Japan). However they attached a receipt in my passport showing the same. Why? Do I have to pay this amount when I return from Tokyo.

P. S- I'm from India, and we are allowed to bring back one laptop from abroad duty-free



Best Answer

You must visit the customs office at your departure airport in Japan; they will just collect the receipts, you'll have nothing to pay.
