Important Notice Regarding Shipments to the United States

We have received an official update from Japan Post regarding mail sent to the U.S.:

Advance payment of customs duties and pre-departure electronic notification via an app through an authorized operator are now required for shipments to the United States.

Please refer to the official announcement from Japan Post for details:
https://www.post.japanpost.jp/service/send/oversea/information/2026/1014_01_en.html

As a result, starting October 15, 2026, customers shipping to the U.S. will be required to pay additional customs duties (0% for orders containing only CDs) and a "Clearance and processing charge."

While our website system is currently being updated to accommodate these changes, we will process these payments manually:

  • After receiving your order, we will send you an order confirmation email along with a PayPal invoice that includes the additional customs duties and "Clearance and processing" charges.
Important Payment Notice for U.S. Customers: Please ensure you select PayPal as your payment method instead of a credit card. Please note that any orders placed using a credit card will be canceled automatically.
