Customs Duties & Import Taxes

📦 General Information

  • All orders are shipped directly from Japan.

  • International shipping is handled primarily via FedEx (we may use other carriers depending on the destination or circumstances).

  • Product prices and shipping fees do not include customs duties, VAT, GST, or any other local taxes (except when DDP applies).

  • These duties and taxes are determined by your country’s customs authority and are typically billed and collected by the shipping carrier (FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc.) prior to delivery or at the time of delivery.

✅ About DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)

  • Depending on shipping conditions, destination country, and order details, we may use FedEx DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).

  • When DDP is used, FedEx may charge DDP-related service fees (e.g., duty/tax advancement fees, customs clearance handling fees, etc.).

  • Whether DDP fees apply (and the amount) may vary based on local regulations, declared value, customs decisions, and FedEx policies.
