Customs & Tax Information for your country

As an online store, we love being able to provide Japanese products to Customers from all over the world. The reality of buying online from overseas however, is that every parcel you buy is subject to your country's import rules. The price you pay on ShopJBP is final to the point of shipping a parcel out from Japan but it does not include any charges that may be applied by your country when receiving it.

Every country has different rules and rates, which is why it is important for you to understand how you may be affected before purchasing. Most countries apply tax/es (eg. duty, VAT, sales) for parcels over a certain value. You can substantially minimise or completely avoid any additional charges by knowing your country's rules such as the ones below.

TIPS to avoid paying too much

Keep your order value within your country's tax free limit

If you have a lot to order, make smaller multiple orders to keep within the tax free limit.

Remember, there is free shipping for orders over ¥15,000 so consider this if you need to make smaller orders.
