🍵 Important Update on Tariffs for Japanese Green Tea and Matcha Products

We are pleased to announce an important update regarding the import and export tariffs on Japanese Green Tea and Matcha Products for our customers in the United States.

Following the formal cancellation of the reciprocal tariff measures, we are pleased to inform you that the 15% tariff previously imposed on shipments of these products to the US has been officially removed. Consequently, the duty rate for tea products previously classified under HTS 0902.10 will return to 0%.

✅ Change: More Affordable and Smoother

We sincerely hope that this measure will make it possible for customers in the United States to once again enjoy authentic Japanese green tea and matcha more affordably and more smoothly.

📌 Important Note: Regarding Processing Fees

However, this tariff elimination does not apply to miscellaneous charges such as customs clearance and administrative fees (Processing Fees). Please note that these charges may still be your responsibility.

The current estimated Processing Fee, based on our independent research, is approximately 0.3% to 3% of the product cost. Please be aware that these fees may be charged separately at a later date in addition to the total amount paid at checkout.

Thank you for your continued support.
