Notice of shipping to the United States due to changes in U.S. Tariffs and Regulations

※As of August 27th

Japan Post has suspended the acceptance of packages bound for the United States for the shipping methods used by our shop. Therefore, postal services cannot be selected for orders to the United States. Please use SGJ or UPS shipping instead.

At the end of last month (July 30), the U.S. government announced a presidential order concerning U.S.-bound shipments, titled "SUSPENDING DUTY-FREE DE MINIMIS TREATMENT FOR ALL COUNTRIES"

This presidential order states that as of August 29, shipments containing goods imported for consumption will no longer be eligible for De Minimis Rules and will be subject to tariffs. However, we have been notified by our shipping company that the specific operational details, such as the method for declaring these taxable items to U.S. Customs and paying the tariffs, are currently unclear.

Therefore, for all orders destined for the United States, we ask that you please place your order with the following points in mind:

  1. Please be aware that delivery delays may occur.
  2. While the payment methods and operational procedures for tariffs are currently unclear, please keep the information such as the name of shipping company and tracking number listed in your shipping notification email. If you have any questions, please contact the shipping company or customs authorities.
  3. Please note that our shop cannot research or calculate the amount of customs duties in advance.
  4. If you refuse to pay the customs duties, there is a possibility that you cannot receive your package. In this case, the package will be returned to our shop, but we are not be able to issue a refund for the product and shipping fees. If you request a redelivery, we ask you to charge the reshipment fee. (in some cases, the shipping company may dispose of the package).
  5. If you forget to pay or are unaware of the customs duties, the package may be returned to our shop after the storage period expires. In this case, we will not issue a refund for the product and shipping fees. A redelivery fee will be charged for returned items (in some cases, the shipping company may dispose of the package).
