Japan import tax is mainly consumption tax (10% standard rate, 8% reduced rate for some food), plus Japan import duty that depends on the product. Small personal imports get a simplified Japan customs tax rate, and consignments whose total taxable value is ¥10,000 or less are generally exempt from duty and consumption tax, with exceptions for items such as leather goods, knitwear and footwear. Japan import duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in Japan can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Delivery takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS, all with tracking. Standard processing takes 4–5 working days once you request shipment. For cheap shipping to Japan, combine your orders into one box. Global Shopaholics acts as your US freight forwarder for parcels and larger boxes, a simpler option than booking air freight to Japan. All America to Japan shipping options include tracking. We deliver to Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Fukuoka and Sapporo.
Free storage is 30 days on Basic, 180 on Premium (US$9.99/month) and 210 on Business (US$14.99/month), and paid plans earn 2% or 3% cashback. Get an instant quote in the shipping calculator for Japan or compare our subscription plans.
Shoppers in Japan most often order vitamins and supplements, US beauty brands, kids' clothing and outlet fashion from US stores such as Amazon, Target, Ulta Beauty, Nike, Coach and Carter's. If a store won't accept your card, our Assisted Purchase team can buy it for you. See our guide to shopping Amazon from Japan.
