Every country has its own import rules, and shipments from Japan may be subject to customs duties, VAT/GST, or other taxes. To keep things simple and stress-free, we currently cover all customs duties and import fees for all products and destinations — with one clearly defined exception noted below.

The price you see at checkout is the full amount you pay.

No additional duties or taxes are collected on delivery.

One Important Exception

Due to shipping restrictions on its tall size, our Full Size Shuro Broom must be shipped by Japan Post EMS instead of our usual courier service.

EMS shipments may incur duties or taxes upon arrival, which are paid by the recipient.

This exception applies only to the Full Size Shuro Broom.

The Medium Shuro Broom and Short Handle Shuro Broom, along with all other products in our shop, ship through our regular courier service with all duties and import fees covered on our side.

How It Works

For standard shipments, we arrange for duties and taxes to be paid on our side through our shipping partners. This allows your parcel to clear customs smoothly, with no extra steps or payments required from you.

• No duties or taxes on delivery (except the EMS Full Size Shuro Broom)
• No unexpected handling fees
• No customs paperwork for you
• Smooth customs clearance worldwide

Will This Ever Change?

Import regulations evolve, and there may be a time in the future when we need to adjust how duties are handled. If that happens, we’ll update this page and make it clear at checkout.

For now, we will continue covering duties for all standard shipments worldwide.
