Shipping & duties

Shipping & duties

We ship to the United States, Australia and Singapore. Every order is tracked. For the United States, import duties are paid before your package leaves Japan; see each country below.

Delivery options

Charms we keep in stock leave Tokyo within 2 business days. For other charms we obtain them from the temple after you order, so they leave Tokyo in about 1 week; the product page tells you which applies. Delivery times are Japan Post’s typical times and are not guaranteed; customs checks and holidays can add a few days. If you need a gift by a certain date, choose Express and order early.

Duties are already included

Since August 2025, the United States charges import duties on almost every package from overseas, including small ones. To keep things simple, we pay these duties in advance through a US Customs–certified service, and they are included in our prices. You will not be asked to pay anything when your package arrives.

Shipping to Australia

We ship to addresses in Australia. Every order is tracked, and every package leaves Tokyo with Japan Post.

Delivery times are Japan Post’s typical times from the day the package is posted and are not guaranteed. Customs and biosecurity checks, holidays and flight changes can add time.

Duties and taxes for Australia

Goods worth AUD 1,000 or less are not charged import duty or GST at the Australian border. We are not registered for Australian GST because our sales to Australia are below the registration threshold, so no GST is added to your order. Prices are in US dollars. We cannot control how Australian Customs, Australia Post or the carrier handle a package once it arrives. In most cases there should be nothing to pay on delivery. If you are asked for a fee, please contact us before paying so we can help.

Australian biosecurity

Australia checks all incoming mail for biosecurity risks. Some of our charms include small pieces of paper or fabric. We describe the contents of every package accurately on the customs declaration, and Australian officers may open a package to inspect it. Charms made of wood, bamboo or similar natural materials are not currently available for delivery to Australia. If a package cannot be released under Australian rules and is returned or destroyed, we will refund the price of the affected items or send a replacement, whichever you prefer.

Shipping to Singapore

We post from Japan. Every order is tracked. Please enter your address carefully, in English letters if you can, and include a phone number so the local post office can reach you.

Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees. Customs, flight changes, public holidays and local post offices can add days. Orders to Singapore are limited to 8 charms.

Duties and taxes for Singapore

We do not charge GST or import duty at checkout. Under Singapore’s current rules, goods sent by post or air with a total value (including shipping) of S$400 or less are relieved from GST on import, and most goods carry no customs duty. If you place several orders and they arrive together from us on the same flight, Singapore Customs may treat them as one import. If the combined value is over S$400, GST on the full value may be collected by SingPost before delivery, and you would pay it. Prices are in US dollars. Rules can change, so please check with SingPost or Singapore Customs if you are unsure.
