Customs Duties and Taxes
When ordering from KAWASHIMAYA, the recipient as the importer of record is responsible for assuring the product complies with all laws and regulations of the destination.
The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties, and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the destination country. We ship DDU or Delivered Duty Unpaid, meaning that additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient. KAWASHIMAYA has no control over these charges, nor can KAWASHIMAYA predict what they may be.
If the recipient refuses to fulfill import taxes, customs duties, and fees as specified in the destination country and the parcel is returned to Japan, KAWASHIMAYA cannot refund the refundable. If customer could not be contacted for delivery and the products are returned to Japan, refund is also unavailable. Please note this in advance.
Customs policies vary widely; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it may cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. Please note in advance.
Important to Know
● The recipient must be reachable to contact at all times via registered email or phone.
● Customs offices in some countries or regions require the importer of record to provide a particular form of identification before releasing a shipment.
● Please contact us if the recipient requires product-related documents from the seller (exporter) for customs clearance.
