Why Shop from U.S. Stores to Japan?
Japanese shoppers use U.S. package forwarding to access American products, exclusive brands, and better prices:
U.S. Products Outside Japanese Retail Chains
Many American products and brands are not available in Japan or arrive with significant delays. Shop directly from U.S. retailers and get products not sold in Japanese stores.
Competitive Pricing on American Brands
U.S. retailers often offer lower prices than Japanese stores, especially on American brands, electronics, and specialty items. Save money with U.S. shopping.
Combine Before Shipping to Japan
Combine multiple purchases into one international shipment to Japan. Package consolidation is essential for affordable shipping from the U.S.
U.S. Sale Events From Tokyo or Osaka
Access Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and seasonal U.S. sales. Get exclusive deals from American retailers and ship to Japan.

Track Through Japanese Customs
Track your packages from U.S. stores through our warehouse to delivery in Japan. Know exactly where your items are throughout the shipping process.
Importing into Japan
For postal items, customs issues an Assessment Notice listing the tax base and the amount due. Below certain duty amounts the parcel is delivered with the notice and you pay the postal worker on the doorstep, along with a postal handling charge; otherwise you pay at the post office named on the notice.
Under ¥10,000 customs value is generally exempt
Goods with a total customs value of ¥10,000 or less are exempted from customs duty and consumption tax. Domestic excises such as liquor and tobacco tax still apply, and certain designated categories are excluded from the exemption entirely.
Splitting parcels does not get you under the threshold
Japan Customs aggregates. For parcel post the limit applies to everything in one package, and where a shipment is divided and sent from the same sender to the same recipient at the same time, the combined customs value of all those parcels must not exceed ¥10,000.
The tax base is the CIF price
Duty is generally assessed on the selling price, and in principle the CIF price — cost, insurance and freight — is the tax base. What you paid to ship forms part of the value being taxed.
A simplified tariff applies up to ¥200,000
Parcels with a total customs value of ¥200,000 or less can be assessed under a simplified tariff of a handful of broad categories rather than the full schedule, with a general rate of 5% for articles that do not fall into a listed category.
Import rules change, sometimes at short notice. Before a large purchase, confirm the current position with Japan Customs — Japan Customs FAQ on the ¥10,000 duty exemption. We last checked these sources on 19 August 2026. Your country sets the government rates. How they are collected — on delivery, or included when you pay if that option is offered — depends on the shipping method at checkout.
Splitting boxes does not dodge Japan’s threshold.
Japan Customs aggregates parcels sent from the same sender at the same time. Combining eligible orders still means one freight bill to Tokyo or Osaka, without pretending to game the ¥10,000 test.
Combining cuts the number of international carrier charges. It does not change the duties or taxes Japan assesses on the goods. You see the live price for the actual box, not a sample rate.
