VAT Policy
Last Updated: April 13, 2025
Dear Players,
According to existing Value-Added Tax (VAT) regulations for e-commerce in Japan and the United States, to ensure compliance for cross-border orders, our site will apply tariffs based on local regulations for orders from Japanese and U.S. users. Specific rules are as follows:
I. Japan Market Tariff Policy
1. Applicability
All orders shipped to Japan, with declared value (total order amount) calculated in Japanese Yen (JPY).
2. Tariff Calculation Rules
- If declared value ≤ 16,000 JPY: No tariff.
- If declared value > 16,000 JPY: Total tariff of 20% (10% customs duty + 10% consumption tax [7.8% + 2.2%]).
3. Examples
- Order amount: 15,000 JPY → No tariff.
- Order amount: 20,000 JPY → Tariff = 20,000 × 20% = 4,000 JPY (Total payment: 24,000 JPY).
II. Important Notes
- Responsibility for Tariffs: Tariffs are borne by buyers, calculated automatically at checkout, and collected by our site for remittance to local customs.
- Declared Value: Declared value is the total product amount (excluding shipping/insurance) and must comply with customs requirements. Misdeclaration may cause delays or penalties.
- Dynamic Rate Adjustments: Tariff policies may change based on destination country updates. Refer to official customs websites for the latest information.
- Dispute Resolution: If actual customs charges differ from prepaid amounts, we will provide clearance documents, but excess fees must be covered by the buyer.
- Delivery Time: Delays due to customs inspections may extend delivery by 5–10 business days.
III. Disclaimer
Our tariff calculations are estimates based on current laws. Final charges depend on customs authorities. We update systems for rate changes but will not notify past orders. Additional fees from customs disputes or inspections are the buyer’s responsibility.
