Notice Regarding Customs Duties and Taxes
Product Pricing and Taxes
The product prices displayed on our website reflect the cost of goods shipped from Japan. These prices do not include customs duties, value-added tax (VAT), consumption tax, or other import-related charges. Such taxes and duties are subject to the laws and regulations of the purchaser’s country and are the responsibility of the purchaser to pay.
Regarding Shipping to the United States
Starting August 29, 2025, due to changes in U.S. government regulations, import duties and customs processing fees (approximately $30 per shipment) will be charged separately.
These charges are collected by U.S. Customs and are not received by our store.
We kindly ask for your understanding before making a purchase.
