Please note that whether a product is subject to CPSC regulations may be determined on a case-by-case basis based on factors such as the product’s specifications, intended use, materials, and target age group. Therefore, Buyee Customer Support is unable to determine or provide guidance on whether a specific product is subject to CPSC regulations. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

Details can be found here: https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2025/0825_01_en.html
Until now, the following items bound for the U.S. could only be shipped via EMS. However, due to the suspension of EMS, shipping has become difficult.

- Tableware, cutlery, and cooking utensils
- Skincare, makeup, hair care, body care, and sanitary products
- Sunglasses & Eyewear Products (Updated on April 23rd, 2026)

We kindly ask for your understanding in this matter.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and greatly appreciate your understanding.
If you have any questions, please contact Buyee Customer Support through our contact form.
Changes to the Calculation and Billing Methods for Prepaid Duties and Customs Clearance Fees for Shipments to the United States
Thank you for using Buyee.
Since we switched to a duty-paid (DDP) service for shipments to the United States and Puerto Rico in August 2025, we have been applying a flat rate of 15.5% of the invoice amount as the prepaid duty rate.
However, based on the actual duty rates currently applied to each product category, the calculation and billing method for prepaid customs duty and customs clearance fee will be changed as follows from the date and time below.
Effective date and applicable shipping methods:
- Packages processed payment after April 21, 2026, 12:00 JST (April 20, 2026, 23:00 ET) for Buyee Air Delivery, DHL, FedEx, UPS, or ECMS
Changes:
1. Prepaid customs duty
・Before change: 15.5% of invoice amount
・After change
- Different customs duty rates will apply to each item category and will be multiplied by the invoice amount of each item.
- You will be able to view an estimated customs duty amount when bidding on or ordering items*, and we will notify you via email of the customs duty amount once the bid is won or the purchase is complete.
- When processing your shipment, we will charge the customs duty amount that we notified you.
*Please note that for items from certain websites, estimated customs duties may currently not be displayed at the time of placing an order. For such items, please refer to the actual amount charged at the time of shipment processing.
2. Prepaid customs clearance fee
・Before change: added to international shipping fee
・After change
- Charged when processing payment for your packages (the same amount included in the current international shipping fee will be deducted)
- You will be able to check the amounts for international shipping fees and customs clearance fees using our International Shipping Fee Estimation tool.

【Notice】UPS Customs Clearance for Shipments to the United States
Thank you for using Buyee.
Recently, posts on social media have claimed that “UPS shipments to the United States are being delayed or disposed of during customs clearance.” Buyee has confirmed these points with UPS and reviewed the actual shipping status.
■ Confirmed Situation
・According to UPS, due to recent U.S. tax changes (including the abolition of the De Minimis threshold and tariff adjustments), some items may require additional customs checks or document submissions. UPS has also posted a service alert indicating the possibility of delays for U.S-bound international shipments.
・We have seen tracking pages show the status “Unable to clear customs – under disposal.” However, this is a temporary system status update. In practice, customs processing continued afterward, and many of these shipments were ultimately delivered normally.
・After the introduction of DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), our review of UPS shipments shows that the vast majority cleared customs and were delivered as usual, with an average delivery time of about 1.9 days, indicating stable performance.
Based on the above, Buyee will continue working closely with UPS and strengthen our support structure.
Please note that, for certain items, U.S. Customs may ask the recipient to provide additional documents. If UPS contacts you, we kindly ask for your prompt cooperation.
If you are unsure how to complete the documentation or have any questions, please feel free to contact Buyee Customer Support.
Buyee remains committed to delivering your packages safely. We will continue to work with UPS and other international carriers to provide a secure and reliable shipping experience.

[Updated on Sep 17] Application of Duty Prepaid (DDP) for Shipments to the United States
Thank you for using Buyee.
Due to the suspension of the de minimis exemption for imports valued at $800 or less to the United States, we have transitioned Buyee Air Delivery, DHL, FedEx, UPS, and ECMS services to a Duty Prepaid (DDP) basis for shipments to the United States and its overseas territories (Puerto Rico, Saipan, Guam) starting at 08:00 JST on August 28, 2025 (19:00 ET on August 27, 2025)
In order to ensure that our customers can use our service with peace of mind, and to minimize the impact of additional customs duties or procedures at the time of clearance, we have uniformly applied a prepaid duty rate of 20% of the invoice amount.
However, in the most recent tariff negotiations between Japan and the United States, it was agreed to change the method from “existing tariff + 15%” to “the higher of the existing tariff or 15%,” and we have confirmed that this method is now in practice. In light of this, starting from the date and time below, we will uniformly change the prepaid duty rate to 15.5% of the invoice amount.
Effective date:
September 17, 2025, 17:00 JST (September 17, 2025, 04:00 ET)
Changes:
- Buyee Air Delivery, DHL, FedEx, UPS, ECMS
1. Prepaid import tariff charges: 15.5% of invoice amount
2. Prepaid customs clearance charges: added to international shipping fee
3. No additional tariff payment required upon delivery

[Important Notice] Changes to U.S.-Bound Shipping Customs Regulations
Thank you for using Buyee.
The “De Minimis” exemption has allowed imports valued at USD 800 or less to enter duty-free in the United States. However, this exemption is scheduled to be suspended as of August 29, 2025. As a result, items valued at USD 800 or less, which were previously exempt from duties, are expected to become subject to customs duties.
In light of this, shipments for which the shipping procedure is completed on or after 08:00 JST on August 27, 2025 (19:00 ET on August 26, 2025) are expected, as noted above, to likely require payment of customs duties upon receipt.
However, for ECMS shipments to the United States, we will update the service so that no separate customs duty payment is required.
Changes:
・An additional JPY 6,285 (includes customs duties and clearance fees) will be added to the international shipping charge.
・No separate customs duty payment will be required.
Effective date:
・08:00 JST on August 22, 2025 (19:00 ET on August 21, 2025)
For customers concerned about the amount of customs duties upon arrival, we recommend using this shipping method.
