[Important Notice] Changes to U.S. Import Duties Starting August 29, 2025

Thank you very much for shopping with us.

We have an important update for our U.S. customers.

Starting August 29, 2025, the U.S. government will end the de minimis rule (which previously allowed duty-free imports under $800).

As a result, all shipments to the U.S. will be subject to import duties, taxes, and handling fees.

At present, many details such as customs procedures and payment methods remain unclear, and there is a possibility of delivery delays or returns.

Some sources suggest that duties may start at 15% or more plus handling fees, but the exact rates and implementation are not yet finalized.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your understanding.

As soon as new information becomes available, we will share updates on this blog and our store page.

We truly appreciate your continued support and will do our best to make sure you can keep enjoying authentic Japanese matcha with peace of mind.
