Buy from Japan to the USA

Before authorizing a purchase, check:

For used marketplace items, save the listing photos and seller description before the item sells.

JPS uses a two-stage payment structure.

At the purchase stage, the customer pays:

Example:

International shipping is not finalized yet because the item has not been packed.

JPS provides:

Detailed inspection, professional authentication, or electronics testing is not included in the standard service.

International parcel packing starts from:

¥500 per parcel

The final shipping cost depends on:

Carrier shipping protection applies according to the selected carrier's terms, and JPS assists with eligible carrier claims.

Duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) remains suspended for covered shipments.

U.S. import treatment depends on the merchandise, declared value, country of origin, entry method, and current customs rules.

For live shipments, customers should check current U.S. Customs and Border Protection guidance.

This does not mean every personal proxy-shopping item requires the same documentation.

It means regulated product categories should be checked before shipment rather than assuming all consumer goods follow one simple rule.

Check before purchase if the item contains:
