Prices are displayed in your local currency depending on your region (US/CA: USD, EU/UK: EUR/GBP, AU/NZ: AUD, all others: JPY). Prices include Japanese consumption tax where applicable. Both tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive prices may be shown.
For qualifying orders shipped outside Japan, Japanese consumption tax is generally not applicable. Where applicable, the tax adjustment will be reflected at checkout and shown on your invoice. Local taxes, customs duties and import charges may apply separately in the destination country.
Consumption Tax
Domestic (Japan): 10% International: Qualifying exports are generally exempt from Japanese consumption tax. Import VAT, GST or other local taxes may apply in the destination country.
Customs Duties and Import Charges
Christopher Nemeth Online Store ships internationally from Japan. Orders may be subject to customs duties, import VAT or GST, and customs clearance or carrier handling fees, depending on the destination country's regulations. These charges are generally the responsibility of the recipient unless they have been collected or prepaid by us at checkout.
Customs charges vary by country and depend on factors such as the product type, declared value, country of origin and applicable customs regulations. The following information is provided as a general guide:
• European Union: Import VAT may apply. From 1 July 2026, a temporary €3 customs duty applies to qualifying items in consignments valued at €150 or less under the applicable EU rules. Other duties may apply depending on the shipment. • United Kingdom: For qualifying direct sales to customers in Great Britain, UK VAT is generally collected at checkout on consignments valued at £135 or less. For consignments above £135, import VAT, customs duties and carrier fees may be payable upon importation. Different rules may apply to Northern Ireland. • United States: Customs duties, tariffs and applicable import fees may apply regardless of order value. Charges depend on current US import rules, product classification, country of origin and shipment details. • Australia: GST may be collected at checkout on eligible low-value goods. For consignments valued above AUD $1,000, import GST, customs duties and clearance charges may apply. • Other regions: Charges vary according to local regulations. We recommend checking your country's customs requirements before placing an order.
Any examples of customs charges should be treated as estimates only. Actual amounts depend on the applicable duty rates, tax rules, product classification, country of origin and customs valuation. We recommend contacting your local customs authority or delivery carrier for further information.
Where duties and taxes are not collected at checkout, the recipient may be required to pay the applicable charges directly to customs authorities or the delivery carrier before delivery. Unless explicitly stated at checkout, shipping fees do not include import duties, local taxes or customs clearance fees.
If a package is refused or remains unclaimed due to unpaid duties, taxes or other import charges, the customer may be responsible for return shipping costs and other charges incurred. Refunds of the original shipping fee and any other amounts will be handled in accordance with our Returns and Refunds Policy and applicable consumer protection laws.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Christopher Nemeth Online Store.
