Taxable and Payment Methods
Product prices on this website do not include consumption tax.
Therefore, when receiving your order in Japan, you may be required to pay consumption tax and other applicable charges.
Markins and B+W products (excluding accessories) are generally not subject to customs duties.
However, if the order amount exceeds a certain threshold, Japanese consumption tax will apply. In such cases, you will need to pay the consumption tax together with the customs clearance fee in cash to the delivery driver upon receipt of the goods.
If the total order amount is 10,000 yen or less, it will be exempt from tax and no payment will be required.
In addition, due to a special rule under which only 60% of the product price is subject to taxation, no payment will be required if the order amount before using points is 16,666 yen or less.
If the order amount before using points exceeds 16,666 yen, payment will be required as follows:
① Consumption Tax ＝ Order Amount × 60% × 10%
② Customs Clearance Fee ＝ 200 yen
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
③ Total Amount Payable ＝ ① ＋ ②
