Japanese customers love to purchase from the top American brands such as Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Apple, Nike, Sephora, and eBay to get exclusive products, lower prices, and seasonal offers not found in Japan. But many American stores don't ship overseas, and those that do usually have high international shipping costs.
Making it easier and more affordable to shop online from the USA and ship to Japan, Ship7 offers a tax-free US address. Moreover, you get international shipping discounts, package repacking, flexible shipping options, and our other services that can help you save up to 80% on shipping costs.

The Japanese consumer can enjoy a much greater variety of authentic products, exclusive collections, and competitive prices when shopping directly from US retailers. A lot of popular American brands in the USA launch new products in the United States first, thus the United States is the best choice for buying the latest products. In particular, during big sales such as:
International shopping can still be worth it after shipping expenses just because of these promotions, which may supply good discounts on items ranging from electronics to fashion, sneakers, beauty products, sporting goods, gaming accessories, and home goods. Many retailers in the U.S. also stock items, colors, sizes, or limited edition releases that are not available in Japan.
While it's possible to find lower prices for buying products from American stores, international shipping rates can add up quickly without a package forwarding service. There are a number of factors that impact the overall shipping expense.
Courier companies typically base their shipping charges on the package's weight, size, urgency, fuel surcharges, and the location. Choosing a courier that has a faster delivery service generally has a higher price than economy shipping, so it is important to consider the selection of the courier for cost reduction.
When you buy from various U.S. stores, each one typically sends your order separately. International shipping for each shipment individually will cost a lot more than sending all the parcels in one shipment.
Some carriers use dimensional (volumetric) weight in addition to package weight. Boxes with too much packaging for large retail items can be more expensive to ship, even if the items are lightweight.
Any foreign shipments will go through customs clearance when they enter Japan. Customs duties, consumption tax, and import processing may apply to the shipping cost depending on the value of the shipment and the product category.
Many popular stores in the U.S. either refuse to ship directly to Japan or have restricted international shipping services. Other retailers don't accept international payment methods, making it hard for Japanese consumers to buy without a US shipping address or a purchasing service.
Your free US shipping address enables you to access thousands of American retailers, including many that don't ship directly to Japan or have their own international shipping policies.
It is important for you to know how the customs charges are calculated before you send your purchases to Japan. Customs may be inspected on most imports to Japan, and duties or taxes will be charged based on the value and nature of the importing goods.
Japan has adopted a de minimis rule for many personal imports, which is about JPY 10,000. For shipments exceeding this value, import duties and Japanese consumption taxes may apply, depending on the products. Here are a few things to keep in mind before shipping:
The detailed customs information make sure that your goods clear customs without delays, and with a smoother process.

The delivery time is dependent on the shipping service you use. Generally, express shipping is delivered in 2-5 business days, and economy delivery takes 5-10 business days. Final delivery time might be affected by customs clearance.
Import duties and consumption tax may be charged by Japanese Customs depending on the declared value and type of goods in the shipment. These charges tend to be higher for shipments that exceed the duty-free limit in Japan.
