Notice: For U.S Customers

๐Ÿ“ข Important Notice: Change in U.S. Import Tax Regulations

Dear Our U.S Customers,

We would like to inform you of an important update regarding U.S. customs regulations that will take effect on August 29, 2025.

๐Ÿ”น Current system (until August 28, 2025)

The United States allows a de minimis value of USD 800, meaning purchases under this amount may enter duty-free without additional import tax.

๐Ÿ”น New system (from August 29, 2025)

The de minimis exemption will end. As a result, all international purchases shipped to the U.S. will be subject to approximately 15% for typical clothing/accessories import duty and related taxes, regardless of the order value.

Please note that a new U.S. import tax of approximately 15% will be applied to all international shipments arriving in the U.S. from August 29, 2025, regardless of when the order was placed.

Example:

If you place your order on August 28, but the parcel enters the U.S. after August 29, the 15% import tax will apply.

Important:

  • Shipping time is also a factor. We use DHL Express shipping, which typically takes 3โ€“7 days to reach the U.S.

  • Because exact delivery timing cannot be guaranteed, we recommend placing your order early enough to allow shipping before August 28 to avoid the new tax.

๐Ÿ”น How this may affect you

Customers in the U.S. may experience additional charges upon delivery of their order. Online shoppers and overseas retailers alike will face new challenges under this policy change.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and greatly appreciate your kind understanding and continued support. We will do our best to assist you during this transition.

With gratitude,
