Since our products are shipped from Japan, import duties, taxes, VAT/GST, customs clearance fees, and other import-related charges are imposed by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient.
These charges are not included in the product price or shipping charges paid to us. They may be collected by the shipping carrier upon delivery, or you may receive an invoice from the carrier or the relevant customs or tax authority.
In the United States, to the best of our knowledge, the tariff rates on fishing tackle currently range from approximately 10% to 26.5%.
While it may take some time, we can also research the applicable information for you upon request. However, the final amount of any duties, taxes, customs clearance fees, or other import-related charges is determined by the relevant authorities in the destination country, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy of any estimated amount.
