Customs Duties

Important Notice Regarding Customs Duties

When products are shipped overseas, customs duties, import taxes, or customs clearance fees may be charged by the customs authorities of the destination country or region.Customs regulations and tax standards vary greatly depending on each country or region, and our store is unable to predict or guarantee whether such charges will occur or what the amounts may be.

Before placing your order, please check the customs regulations applicable in your country or region. Please note that any customs duties, import taxes, or related fees will be the responsibility of the recipient.

About Customs Declarations & Fees

■ DAP (Delivered At Place) — Duties Paid by Recipient
Under DAP terms, customs duties will be paid later by the recipient (buyer).
Currently, our company does not support prepaid customs duties (DDP) for either Japan Post or DHL.

■ Accurate Item Declarations
We use AI and our extensive shipping experience to prepare legal and compliant item declarations.

■ No Undervaluation
We do not undervalue packages for the purpose of avoiding customs duties or fees.

■ Method of Declaring the Amount

FOB price refers to “the cost of the goods only.”
CIF price refers to “the cost of the goods, insurance, and freight.”

As a general rule, we declare the value based on the FOB price. However, depending on the country or the customer’s instructions, we may also declare it using the CIF price.

■ Is it considered a “gift” or “commercial/sale of goods”?
We often receive requests asking us to mark items as gifts, and there are times when we declare them as such. However, given the current global customs situation, marking a shipment as a gift generally does not significantly reduce customs duties anymore.

■ Country of Origin: Japan
For secondhand items without a clearly stated country of origin, we declare Japan.This is based on their status as secondary distribution goods that have circulated and been inspected within Japan.

■ Special Instructions
If you require any special instructions for customs declarations, please inform us in advance.

Additional Fees by Shipping Method

Japan Post (EMS)
For shipments valued at over 200,000 JPY, an additional 2,800 JPY export customs clearance fee will be charged.
This fee must be paid in advance and will be added to your final invoice.

DHL Multiline Entry Fees
We use AI and our expertise to prepare item declarations so that DHL’s Multiline Entry fee can be avoided whenever possible.
DHL applies an 800 JPY Multiline Entry fee when the package contains six or more declared item lines.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOB price Example

Mark the package as: Gift
Declare value: 13,000 JPY

Secondhand Clothes x 2
Unit value 5000 JPY

Secondhand Fashion Necklace (not contain gold) x 1
Unit value 3000 JPY

Total Goods Value: 13000 JPY

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CIF price + all service fees Example (United Kingdom Only)

Mark the Package as: Sale of goods
Declare value: 6000 JPY

Secondhand Skirt Polyester x1
Unit value 3000 JPY

Total Goods Value: 3000 JPY

Handing Charge (Commission): 500 JPY
Other Charge (Japan Domestic Shipping Fee): 300 JPY
Freight Cost (Int'l Shipping Fee): 2000 JPY
Export Charge (PayPal Fee): 200 JPY

Total Invoice Amount: 6000 JPY

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DHL and Japan Post

Differences Between DHL and Japan Post EMS
Japan Post’s EMS and ePacket Light determine shipping costs based on weight, while DHL calculates its rates using volumetric weight (a value that converts the package’s dimensions/volume into weight). In addition, factors such as monthly fuel surcharges affect DHL pricing, so we do not provide a fixed rate table. We generally pack items using DHL Box 2 (~2 kg) and Box 4 (~5 kg) as our standard sizes. Please rest assured that both Japan Post and DHL shipping fees are charged based on the actual cost.

Regarding Safety and Reliability
DHL can consistently track and manage your package until it reaches the customer. On the other hand, once an EMS shipment leaves Japan, it falls under the control of the destination country’s postal service, and Japan Post has no ability to manage or control the package. If the postal service in your country does not perform well, we recommend using DHL.
