▶ U.S. Import Tariff Notice

[2025-05-6]

Important Notice for U.S. Customers – New 10% Import Tariff Starting April 5

What stays the same:
- Shipments from Japan under USD 800 are typically duty-free under U.S. de minimis rules.
- Many customers have not been charged tax for these shipments so far.

What’s changing from April 5:
- A 10% import tariff is expected to apply to all imports, regardless of value.
- This new tariff is separate from regular duties and might be enforced even on tax-free packages.

Impact by shipping method:
- FedEx / DHL: Likely subject to the new tariff.
- Japan Post + USPS: Possibly exempt, but not officially confirmed.

Important: The application of this new fee depends on how the package is handled and interpreted by local U.S. customs. We cannot guarantee exemption under the new policy.

We are actively monitoring the situation and will update this notice when more information becomes available.

As of now, there have been no reports of import tariffs being charged on any of our shipments to the U.S., including those sent via FedEx or DHL.
