Furniture Shipping Cost from Osaka to Denver, Colorado

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.

Shipping a 50 lb box generally costs $75 to over $120 for ground services, with carriers like FedEx Ground and UPS Ground often being cheaper than USPS Ground Advantage for heavy items, though prices vary significantly by distance, speed, and if you use discount platforms. For single boxes, services like FedEx Ground might be around $75-$80, while UPS Ground could be $80-$90, and USPS Ground Advantage might be higher, depending on the zone, but discounts can lower these significantly.

Yes, there are import duties and new tariffs on goods from Japan to the U.S., significantly changing things since late 2025; a new baseline 15% tariff applies to most Japanese goods, and the previous $800 duty-free allowance was largely eliminated, meaning you should expect duties, carrier fees, and processing fees on most imports, calculated based on the item's Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code and origin, with higher potential fees for items originating in China but shipped from Japan.
