Due to the suspension of the de minimis exemption for imports valued at $800 or less to the United States, we have transitioned DHL and ECMS services to a Duty Prepaid (DDP) basis for shipments to the United States and Puerto Rico starting at 08:00 JST on August 28, 2025 (19:00 ET on August 27, 2025)

In order to ensure that our customers can use our service with peace of mind, and to minimize the impact of additional customs duties or procedures at the time of clearance, we have uniformly applied a prepaid duty rate of 20% of the invoice amount.

However, in the most recent tariff negotiations between Japan and the United States, it was agreed to change the method from “existing tariff + 15%” to “the higher of the existing tariff or 15%,” and we have confirmed that this method is now in practice. In light of this, starting from the date and time below, we will uniformly change the prepaid duty rate to 15.5% of the invoice amount.

Effective date:
September 17, 2025, 17:00 JST (September 17, 2025, 04:00 ET)

Changes:
・DHL and ECMS
　1. Prepaid import tariff charges: 15.5% of invoice amount
　2. Prepaid customs clearance charges: added to international shipping fee
　3. No additional tariff payment required upon delivery

Should any changes occur to tax rates or other terms due to progress in tariff negotiations, we will promptly notify you.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will strive to ensure you can shop with confidence. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Kindly note that we will be experiencing a server downtime for 5 to 7 hours to perform system maintenance on 2025 September 10th Wed.(JST).

■ Maintenance Start:2025 September 10th Wed. 2:00 a.m. (JST)
■ Maintenance End: 2025 September 10th Wed. 8:00 a.m. (JST)

※ Depending on the work situation, delay might be expected.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding in advance.

Since JP Post has stopped shipping to the USA, for shipment to USA, only DHL and ECMS are available now. However, some items cannot be shipped by DHL or ECMS. For packages containing those items, international shipment will not be available.

The following items could previously be shipped to the USA by JP Post. However, since most of them cannot get shipped by DHL or ECMS, please refrain from buying the following items to prevent the package from being unable to be shipped internationally.

【Items that cannot be shipped】
・Food items, beverages, and health food such as supplements
・Kitchen items such as tableware, cutlery and cooking tools
・Skincare goods/cosmetics such as liquid, cream, gel and sunscreen, hair/body care goods and personal hygiene
・Massagers, eyeglasses/sunglasses, contacts, watches and automobile-related parts

If a package containing the items listed above has already been delivered to our warehouse, we can separate the package for you. Please send us an inquiry at that time.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.

Japan Post has announced that, effective Wednesday, August 27, 2025, it will temporarily suspend the acceptance of mail items addressed to the United States.
https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2025/0825_01.html

Furthermore, even parcels for which shipping procedures via Japan Post have been completed prior to the suspension are highly likely to be returned to Japan.
Therefore, if you wish to ship to the United States, we strongly recommend using DHL or ECMS instead.

In light of this situation, Tenso.com will also suspend the acceptance of shipments to the United States via Japan Post (EMS, AIR small packets, AIR international parcels, and Surface international parcels) from Tuesday, August 26, 2025.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your understanding.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

The “De Minimis” exemption has allowed imports valued at USD 800 or less to enter duty-free in the United States. However, this exemption is scheduled to be suspended as of August 29, 2025. As a result, items valued at USD 800 or less, which were previously exempt from duties, are expected to become subject to customs duties.

With regard to applicable duty rates, based on the information currently available, with some exceptions, all products of Japanese origin imported into the United States are expected to be subject to a 15% tariff rate.

In light of this, shipments for which the shipping procedure is completed on or after 08:00 JST on August 27, 2025 (19:00 ET on August 26, 2025) are expected, as noted above, to likely require payment of customs duties upon receipt.

However, for ECMS shipments to the United States, we will update the service so that no separate customs duty payment is required.

Changes:
・An additional JPY 6,285 (includes customs clearance procedures and duties) will be added to the international shipping charge.
・No separate customs duty payment will be required.

Effective date:
・08:00 JST on August 22, 2025 (19:00 ET on August 21, 2025)

For customers concerned about the amount of customs duties upon arrival, we recommend using this shipping method.

Please note that these regulatory changes are subject to additional updates or changes in conditions. We will provide further announcements as new information becomes available.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause, and appreciate your understanding.
