Trump Tariffs and Shipping from Japan (August 2025)

Dear Customers,

*This article only applies to customers with a shipping address within the United States. For customers outside the United States, shipping will proceed as usual. Don't worry.

Due to the new Trump Tariffs, shipments from Japan to the United States after August 29, 2025 may be subject to import duties at the time of delivery, and some delays may occur.

To protect our buyers, we will only ship after receiving your agreement regarding possible customs duties.
Please note that, due to eBay policy, new orders are temporarily paused (only pre-orders are accepted).

If the duty is around 15%, paying it directly may be the fastest way to receive your package.
However, if you are charged an unusually high duty (for example, over $80 or more than the item price) by USPS, do not pay immediately. Please contact us first—we will advise you on how to handle the situation and support you.

Based on current information, this confusion is expected to settle by late September 2025.
We will continue to update you as soon as new information becomes available.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
