Appliances Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Monrovia

Regular Post. Shipping from Japan by surface mail takes forever. Japan Post offers much quicker, cost-effective options in airmail and express mail service (EMS), which are both likely to take between one and two weeks. US Customs will deprioritize release of parcels if something looks wrong with the paperwork.

Shipping from Japan to the US varies widely by weight, size, speed, and carrier, ranging from a few dollars for small, light items via Japan Post (e.g., ¥280 for 50g) to over $100 for heavy boxes, with options like EMS (fast, pricey) or SAL/Surface (slow, cheap), and couriers like FedEx/DHL offering faster but potentially volumetric rates. Expect costs like $20-$40 for small hobby orders and $200+ for larger/heavier shipments.

Current Shipping Options & Additional Fees With the exemption gone, all packages to the U.S., no matter their value or size, now require full customs documentation and processing. Starting from Wednesday, August 27, 2025, Japan Post has announced a temporary suspension of delivery services to the United States.
