IMPORTANT NOTICE
1. About Duty & Tax - Especially for US customer
Basically all duties and taxes are imposed by the importing country on the importer, and are the responsibility of the importer, not the producer.
We've recently received a significant number of inquiries from consumers in the United States regarding duties and taxes. This is due to the US government's decision to eliminate the de minimis exemption and establish additional duties. Details are below.
Starting August 29, 2025, the de minimis exemption for all international shipments to the US will be discontinued, and all imports valued at $800 or less will now be subject to duties and taxes. The rates vary by item, and additional duties may apply in addition to the base rate.
While all countries are the same, for US citizens, duties and taxes are imposed by the US government on US citizens, and are imposed on the importer and user, not the producer. Please keep this in mind.
2. Important Policy Changes Regarding Refunds Upon PayPal Payment Cancellations
PayPal charges a 4.4% fee to sellers by default, which is non-refundable in the event of a refund. For example, if a payment of USD 1,000.00 is immediately refunded, the seller will pay a USD 44.00 fee to PayPal for the transaction, even though no actual purchase was made. This fee is non-refundable. This is especially true for simple refunds, as well as frequent changes in transaction amounts due to changes in options or purchases of other products.
For this reason, refunds or partial refunds requested by PayPal customers will be returned as credits that can be used at any time on our website. This policy applies to PayPal payments only. Please note that refunds and partial refunds are available as before for other payment methods.
