Major Regions

United States (DDU, duties/taxes after Aug 29, 2025)

US Orders (Customs Duties and Shipping after August 29, 2025)

Starting August 29, 2025, the United States has abolished the de minimis exemption (previously USD 800 tax-free). This means all imports to the US are now subject to customs duties and taxes, regardless of the declared value.

We ship under DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). Duties, taxes, and handling fees are charged by the carrier upon delivery and are the recipient’s responsibility. These charges are not included at checkout.

Important Shipping Notice:
• Since August 27, 2025, Japan Post (EMS & parcels) has suspended most shipments of goods to the US.
• If you select Express Delivery, we will ship by DHL.
• If you select Standard Shipping, your order may not be deliverable due to the suspension.
✅ For guaranteed delivery, please choose Express Delivery (DHL).

Please note that due to these regulatory changes, additional fees or delivery delays may occur. Thank you for your understanding.
