We ship on DAP terms. You pay import duties and VAT. They are not part of our price.
We do not collect them. The amount is set by the country you import into.
Payment and currency
We accept bank transfer only. Invoices are in Japanese yen and are valid for 72 hours from issue.
You pay all sending and intermediary bank charges. Prices in other currencies are for reference. You bear any exchange-rate difference.
Returns and refunds
All sales are final. Orders ship internationally, so we do not accept returns or give refunds.
If we cannot ship
If we are unable to ship your order, your payment is returned in full. This includes a bag that does not pass inspection.
