📘 Taxes

General policy

  • Applicable regions: At this stage, tax or import-related fee handling mainly applies to EU and US orders. Orders shipped to most other countries or regions are not currently charged additional taxes or import-related fees by us at checkout.
  • How we handle taxes and import-related fees: For orders where applicable taxes or import-related fees apply, we use shipping channels that help handle the related taxes, fees, and customs clearance in advance. In most cases, customers do not need to pay these charges again upon delivery or handle customs clearance themselves.
  • When the fee is charged: If applicable taxes or import-related fees need to be charged, they will be shown and collected when the order is placed on our website.
  • How the fee is displayed: Because these fees are usually handled through the shipping process, they are included in the shipping fee shown at checkout instead of being displayed as a separate tax line.

EU orders

  • Policy background:
    • Since July 1, 2021, the EU has applied VAT e-commerce rules and introduced the IOSS system for VAT declaration and payment on eligible low-value goods imported from outside the EU with a value not exceeding €150.
    • Starting from July 1, 2026, eligible low-value import parcels may also be subject to an additional fixed tariff of €3. As a result, applicable orders will be charged an additional tariff impact fee.
  • How EU taxes are handled: EU orders may be charged VAT or other import-related taxes. We usually use an IOSS-supported or tax-prepaid shipping method, so VAT and customs clearance can be handled through the shipping process. In most cases, customers do not need to pay the same tax again upon delivery or contact customs directly for clearance.
  • Amount: The applicable fee for EU orders consists of two parts: Applicable fee = category-based tax impact fee + fixed tariff impact fee
    • The category-based tax impact fee depends on the product category. For most applicable EU orders, this amount is usually around $5 or lower per item.
    • Starting from July 1, 2026, a fixed tariff impact fee of $3.50 per applicable order will also be charged due to the tariff policy change.

US orders

  • Policy background: The US previously allowed eligible low-value imports with a declared value of $800 or less to enter under the de minimis rule without regular duties. Starting from May 2, 2025, the US removed the de minimis duty-free treatment for low-value shipments from mainland China and Hong Kong. As a result, related shipments may be subject to customs duties, additional tariffs, or other import-related charges.
  • Current impact fee and handling method: At this stage, we are not charging a separate customs and tariff impact fee for US orders. We currently use duty-paid or tax-prepaid shipping methods where possible, so customs duties, tariffs, and related import costs can be handled through the shipping process. In most cases, customers do not need to pay additional customs duties, tariffs, or other import-related charges upon delivery.
  • Possible future impact fee: Duty-paid shipping can be significantly more expensive. We will continue to monitor policy changes and their long-term impact on our shipping costs. If tariff rates, import rules, or shipping costs remain high or increase in the long term, we may introduce a small customs and tariff impact fee to help cover part of the cost.
  • Estimated amount if introduced: If this fee is introduced, the amount will depend on the product category and package details. For example, a 1/6 boxed figure may usually fall around $5–$10, while smaller figures or accessories may have a lower amount.

Future changes

  • Tax rules, customs regulations, tariff policies, and shipping costs may change over time.
  • If our handling method changes, we will update this page and notify affected customers before shipment when needed.
  • Any applicable fee will be clearly shown at checkout.
