Please be aware that in all cases, the customer is responsible for paying any customs fees applied to their order and for providing any documents required by customs in the country of receipt.
These costs include the sales tax in the country of receipt (applied to the total value of the order), duties on the cost of products (around 6% for the European Union), and any handling fees applied by the shipping provider.
DHL and FedEx usually send an invoice a few days after delivery, whereas EMS (JP Post) generally charges the required sum at delivery.
We ship internationally from Japan, and depending on your country’s import regulations, you may be subject to customs duties or taxes upon delivery.
For our customers in the USA:
・Orders valued at or under $800 are typically exempt from import duties under the U.S. "de minimis" rule.
・Orders over $800 may be subject to import taxes or customs duties, as determined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
To comply with international customs laws, we are unable to split a single order into multiple shipments for the purpose of avoiding import duties.
However, if you wish to avoid exceeding the $800 threshold, you are welcome to:
・Place separate orders, each valued under $800.
・Please note that each order will be processed and shipped individually, with separate tracking numbers.
For our customers in Australia: Orders below $1000 AUD are regarded as 'low-value imports' by Australian customs. As of 01 July 2018, customs duties may apply to any goods imported from overseas by consumers in Australia. For more information, please visit the Australian customs website.
For our customers in Canada: Orders above $20 CAN require that you pay the applicable duties and the GST. For more information, please visit the Canadian customs website.
For our customers in Singapore: Orders above $400 SGD require that you pay the applicable duties and the GST. For more information, please visit the Singapore customs website.
For our customers in China Mainland: We are shipping to China Mainland via EMS. EMS is not often stopped by customs, but if it is subject to inspection, you will be charged taxes.
Instead of import duties and value-added tax, a tax called personal postal articles tax(行邮税) is applied. The tax is 13%, 20%, or 50% depending on the item, but in the case of tableware, it should be 13% of the price. However, this is often changed and cannot be guaranteed. Tax is exempted if the tax amount is less than CNY 50.
Import price limits are also regulated, and purchases should be made within the following limits.
・Purchase limit per purchase CNY 5,000
・Annual purchase limit: CNY26,000
For more information, please visit the China customs website.
For our customers in the EU:
EU Directives calculate the Total Value of the order as a combination of the price of the product and shipping fees. The buyer is responsible for paying both consumption tax and import duty of the total value.
