For most of the international shipping, we have voluntarily declared lower values for your tariff evasion purposes (due to the vast amount of requests from Canadian and European residents), however we can only do so in exchange for immunity from any accidents, damages or loss of the shipment as of Sep.1, 2007.

In the online order-form, there is a field that you enter a figure to be declared, so please be plausible. There were cases that the foreign customs Googled to check our prices online! (We do not ship if your figure sounds unreal. 50% of the actual price is advised.) It is insured only up to the declared value.

Please also know that accidents occurred few times with the overseas carrier because of their sloppy operation. For those who wishes us to declare a low price, there will be an additional 150 yen postage as we cannot ship your real invoice with the products. The actual invoice to be sent to you by standard-size mail separately.

For US shoppers: Though we can not guarantee, it is highly likely that you will not be charged importation taxes up to 30000 JPY purchase. We strongly suggest that you declare the honest value.

For Asian/Oceanian shoppers: Though we leave this matter to your discretion, we strongly recommend that you declare truthfully.

ONCE AGAIN, WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING SHOULD OCCUR TO THE SHIPMENT WITH A LOWERED VALUE DECLARATION. BECAUSE THE POST OFFICE HERE NO LONGER ACCEPTS IT, WE DO NOT LABEL THE PARCEL AS "GIFT".
