custom tax and duties for international buyers
【Q: Do you do Under-declaration for less custom taxes?】
Unfortunately our answer is NO..🙏🏻
We totally understand how you feel,
but Please note that no matter which shipping method you choose,
or no matter how many times a customer requests a lower amount,
we have to declare the same amount as the payment amount.
Because we are not a personal seller, but the company with the re-sell license issued by the Japanese Government.
But, some cities have a duty-free limit, and if the price of the purchased item exceeds that limit, customs duties are often imposed.
Since the duty free limit amount varies by city, the seller cannot confirm this,
so please check the customs page of your country 🙏🏻)
Good news is.. Items declared as 'Personal Use Only/Used Clothing'
( because it is actually used/ personal use.! )
And that always tend to have the lowest tax rates,
so rest assured that we always declare them as such to ensure the lowest customs duties.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
【Why DHL needs me to provide ID? 】
As for the case where the carrier ( DHL/ USPS) needs you to provide more information/ certification,
If you are importing a high value item into the United States,
the shipping carrier may reach out to you directly for more information.
This is because U.S. Customs has asked the carrier to provide it with your tax ID number.
A tax ID number is typically a social security number , an employee ID number, or passport number, extra..
It's important to respond to the carrier's request promptly so that shipping is not delayed.
If U.S. Customs does not have the information it requested, the carrier will be unable to import the item.
