Understand exactly what taxes and import duties apply to your SmikieJapan order, based on your country. We aim to be fully transparent — no surprise charges at delivery where possible.
For orders shipped from Japan to the United States, import duties are calculated for each item based on its product category and are already included in the item prices shown on our site. No separate import fee is added at checkout — the total you see before paying is the total you pay. No additional charges will be collected at delivery.
As US import regulations continue to evolve, our policies may be updated. Please check the Shipping Policy page for the latest information.
For orders to the Philippines, import duties are included in our product prices — no duties are collected at checkout or on delivery. For orders to South Korea, taxes and import duties are not collected at checkout. Instead, your local customs authority or the courier may contact you for payment before delivering your package.
Duty rates vary significantly by country, product category, and order value. For the most accurate information, we recommend checking your local customs authority's website or contacting a customs broker in your country.
