For new US orders placed from November 10, 2026
We now collect estimated import duties and clearance/processing fees at checkout for orders shipped to the United States.
This payment helps cover the import charges required for your shipment.
How it works
- Enter your US shipping address at checkout.
- Check the estimated amount under Duties in your order summary. Pay this amount together with your items and shipping.
- We arrange prepayment of your import duties and clearance/processing fees before shipping your parcel from Japan. You should not need to pay those same charges again when it arrives in the United States.
- Once the final combined cost is confirmed, we refund any extra amount we collected.
This applies to orders shipped to a US address, even if you place your order while living in another country.
You pay us. We arrange the prepayment.
After you place your order, we arrange payment of the applicable import duties and clearance/processing fees before your parcel is shipped from Japan.
With this prepayment, you should not need to pay the same import duties and clearance/processing fees again when your parcel arrives in the United States.
We refund any extra amount collected
The amount shown at checkout is an estimate. Once your order is placed and the shipment details are finalized, we compare the amount you paid with the actual total for import duties and clearance/processing fees.
If you paid more than the actual total, we will refund the difference.
Please note that the final amount can only be confirmed after your shipment details have been finalized.
Already placed an order before this update?
If you placed your order before November 10, 2026, and an additional payment is required before shipping, we will contact you directly with the amount and payment instructions.
Thank you for your understanding and for supporting JAPANeid.
