About Customs Duties and Import Taxes
We ship worldwide from Japan.
Depending on the destination country, we ship via one of the following methods:
- DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Duties and taxes are included in the product price.
- DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): Duties and taxes must be paid by the receiver upon delivery.
DDU For Customers in the USA
Customs duties have risen sharply due to Trump tariffs.
- Duties equivalent to the product price may be applied.
- Duties are the customer's responsibility (DDU).
- We do not accept returns due to unpaid customs duties.
