Tax and Duty Charges
The Japanese Customs and Tariff Bureau require that all applicable duties and taxes must be paid for shipments entering Japan. By placing an order with Akademiks.com, you agree to pay the duties and taxes charged at the time of delivery. Customs duty and Value-Added Tax (VAT) will be payable, as follows:
- Customs duty – Typically 12-20% of product price (based on product characteristics)
- Import VAT – Currently 16% of the total order cost (including shipping cost)
- Advancement Fees – FedEx fee for processing of duties/fees (currently $8.00 USD)
Due to our broad selection of clothing, footwear, and accessories, it is difficult to estimate an exact figure for duty costs. Remember that all prices on the site are in U.S. dollars.
For further assistance in understanding and estimating taxes and duties, contact The Japanese Customs and Tariff Bureau through their website at http://www.customs.go.jp.
