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.
