IMPORT DUTIES & TAXES
How import duties and taxes are handled depends on the delivery address.

- Delivery to other countries: import duties and taxes (such as VAT or GST), as well as any customs clearance fees, are paid by the customer on delivery.
- Delivery in Japan: consumption tax included. This also applies if you receive your order at a hotel or other address in Japan while traveling.
WHAT THESE TERMS MEAN
- Import duties: taxes charged on goods brought into a country.
- Import taxes (such as VAT or GST): value-added or sales taxes charged at import.
- Customs clearance fees: fees charged by the carrier for handling customs procedures.

Import duties and taxes paid on delivery are collected by customs or the carrier, not by us, so we are unable to refund them. For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.
