Japan is close to Korea. That makes it one of the cheapest places we ship. Most Korean beauty brands are easy to find in Japan already. So shoppers in Japan usually ask us for the things that never leave Korea.

What Shoppers in Japan Ask Us For
Korea only K-pop merch. Weverse Shop Korea sells tour goods and albums with Korean store gifts. Many of them ship only to Korean addresses. Our Weverse Shop guide explains how we buy them.
Korean fashion labels. Small Seoul labels on Musinsa and Zigzag and Ably sell knits and skirts and ribbon cardigans at Korean prices. These apps are built for Korean shoppers with Korean payment and delivery. See our Musinsa guide.

Japan Customs Basics
The ¥10,000 line. Parcels with a value of ¥10,000 or less are usually free of duty and consumption tax. Above that Japan can charge consumption tax and duty. The amount depends on the item. You pay it to Japan Post when the box arrives.
Cosmetics. Japan lets you import up to 24 of the same cosmetic in normal retail sizes for your own use. More than that needs approval in advance. Items brought in this way are for you and cannot be resold.
Japan is changing how it taxes low value parcels. Rules can change. Japan Customs has the latest.
Some things we do not ship to any country. That means perfume and aerosol sprays and food and loose batteries.
