Shipments from Japan of our Japanese products benefit from an 800 USD customs exemption. If the declared order value does not exceed this threshold, no customs duty or import tax is applied.

Beyond 800 USD, only the amount exceeding this limit may be subject to the standard U.S. customs duty rates. In practice, the majority of typical orders remain exempt from additional fees.

Within the European Union, no customs duty is levied on an order valued at 150 EUR or less, although VAT is due from the first euro along with a minimal carrier handling fee.

Thanks to the EU–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, our products made in Japan can benefit from a total exemption from customs duties. Thus, for orders exceeding 150 EUR, only VAT and any potential carrier handling fees are generally applied.

For Canada, the customs exemption threshold is set at 20 CAD. Thanks to the free trade agreement between Canada and Japan, our Japanese products are generally exempt from customs duties even if the value exceeds this threshold. However, once the order exceeds 20 CAD, GST/HST is applied to the entire declared value, even though customs duties often remain nil for these products.

Although the exemption threshold is 1,000 AUD, it is important to note that GST (Goods and Services Tax, equivalent to 10%) applies to all imports from Japan, regardless of the declared value.

For orders exceeding 1,000 AUD, in addition to GST, customs duties (generally around 5% depending on the type of product) may be applied during clearance.

In the United Kingdom, the customs exemption threshold is set at 135 GBP. However, thanks to the UK‑Japan CEPA, most customs duties on our products made in Japan are waived.

Thus, even for orders exceeding 135 GBP, our Japanese products are not subject to customs duties. However, VAT (generally 20%) and carrier fees are still applicable upon importation.
