Precautions by country
- United Kingdom: For details on import duty rates on US goods, please check the UK Trade Tariff Tool using the HS code. 20% VAT is standard, 0% for books, children’s goods, etc. The duty exemption limit is £135 per item.
- Japan: Clothing, leather goods, shoes, etc. are subject to customs duty and consumption tax at 10% even if the value is less than 10,000 yen. Other items with a taxable value of 10,000 yen or less are exempt from customs duties and 10% consumption tax, while items exceeding 10,000 yen are subject to the stated duties (if applicable) and 10% consumption tax.
- Hong Kong: As Hong Kong is a free port, in principle, no customs duty is imposed.
- Canada: Please note that there are different duty exemption conditions for shipments delivered by courier (FedEx, etc.) and those delivered by post office (USPS).
- Australia: GST tax (10%) is charged on our invoice 2, so you will not receive a direct invoice from the courier.
