US → Japan Forwarding Service

Shop with your own dedicated US address, and USAJUSHO consolidates and ships everything to Japan for you. Here's exactly what happens at each step, from sign-up to your doorstep in Japan.

Getting Started

How Forwarding Works (7 Steps)

Here's what's on you versus what we take care of, at each step.

1

Create your free account

What you do: Sign up with your email in under a minute — no fees to join.

What we handle: We instantly issue your own dedicated USAJUSHO warehouse address in the US.

2

Shop at any US store

What you do: Check out at Amazon, Nike, Best Buy, or any other US retailer using your new USAJUSHO address as the shipping address.

What we handle: Can't ship to a freight forwarder, or want us to buy it for you instead? Use Purchase Proxy and we'll purchase the item on your behalf.

3

Declare your order

What you do: Log in and declare your order the total amount, plus an optional tracking number and receipt photo, handy if a question comes up later.

What we handle: We use your declaration to match the package to your account when it arrives at our warehouse.

4

We receive, inspect & photograph it

What you do: Just relax — there's nothing to do at this step.

What we handle: When your package arrives, we check it in, verify the contents, and photograph it. Photos post to your dashboard as soon as they are ready.

5

Review, consolidate & choose add-ons

What you do: Log in to your dashboard, review your arrived packages, and decide whether to combine multiple boxes into one shipment to save on shipping. Add any extra services you need.

What we handle: We prepare your commercial invoice with the final price, based on the options you chose.

6

Pay & we ship to Japan

What you do: Review and pay the shipping invoice from your dashboard.

What we handle: We hand your package to our international carrier and issue a tracking number right away.

7

Delivered to your door in Japan

What you do: Track your shipment anytime from your dashboard.

What we handle: Your package arrives at the Japan address you specified — typically within 3–5 days after shipping.

Free Inspection, Every Package

Every package is inspected and photographed at no charge

Every item that arrives at our US warehouse is checked at no extra cost, photographed on the spot, and posted to your dashboard right away -- so you can see exactly what arrived before deciding on consolidation or shipping.

Your package ships with a label showing your dedicated USAJUSHO address and member number, plus a tracking number.

Consolidation saves you even more

Packages from multiple stores are combined into a single shipment at our warehouse, cutting your shipping cost compared to shipping each one separately. We handle the packing, inspection, and shipping — you just choose consolidation from your dashboard.

Before You Ship

A few things to check before you order

Four things worth knowing up front. Full details are on the linked guide pages.

Know the duty-free threshold

Orders with a taxable value of ¥10,000 or less are generally duty-free (personal-use imports are valued at 60% of the retail price, so about ¥16,600 in practice). Above that, simplified tariff rates apply.

See the customs guide →

Watch for quantity limits

Vitamins and supplements are fine up to personal-use quantities (roughly 10kg total), medications up to a 2-month supply, and so on. Check before you order.

Some items can't ship at all

Alcohol, for example, can't be shipped through this service due to air-carrier restrictions. Please confirm an item can ship before ordering it.

See prohibited items →

No US card? No problem

For stores that require a US-issued card, or that don't ship overseas, our Purchase Proxy service buys the item on your behalf.

Calculate your shipping cost

Enter your package weight to get an instant estimate for shipping to Japan.

kg
xxcm

Adding dimensions gives a more accurate estimate using dimensional weight (L x W x H / 6000). Max 50kg per box, max 260cm (L+W+H combined), max length 200cm.

Enter a weight to see an estimated cost.

* Actual shipping cost depends on package size, weight, and any add-on services selected. See your commercial invoice on the dashboard for the final amount.

Also estimate Japan customs duty (optional)

$

Enter an item price to see an estimated customs duty.

* Reference estimate only, based on Japan's current 60%-valuation / simplified-tariff rules. Leather goods, knitwear, footwear, and gloves are dutiable even under ¥10,000 and aren't covered by this simple estimate. See the Customs Guide

Estimate shipping insurance too (optional)

Enter the item price above to see the estimated insurance fee.

* Reference estimate based on OCS's Insurance Price List (revised January 1, 2025; individual-customer rates). The final amount is confirmed when you place your order. Alcohol, antiques, precious metals/stones (other than costume jewelry), cash, live animals/plants, and perishables aren't covered by OCS insurance and require prior approval.

FAQ

Forwarding FAQ

Can I keep ordering vitamins or supplements?

Yes, within personal-use quantities — roughly 10kg total. If your order is larger than that, please reach out to us first.

Who pays customs duty, and when?

If your shipment is dutiable, the carrier collects it from you upon delivery in Japan. It's separate from the shipping fee you pay us.

What if I accidentally order something that can't be shipped?

We'll contact you as soon as we spot it. The item will need to be discarded or returned at your expense, and we can't refund the item cost — so it's worth checking before you order.

When am I charged for shipping?

Only when you actually ship a package to Japan. Signup and using the address itself are free.

What is consolidation?

Combining multiple packages into a single shipment, which costs less than shipping each one separately.

How long will you hold my packages for free?

Every package is stored free for 30 days after it arrives at our warehouse, so you can wait for other orders and consolidate them into one shipment. Need more time beyond 30 days? A paid storage extension is available as an add-on.

What if my package is damaged or lost in transit?

Every package is photographed before shipping, so we have proof of its condition. Optional shipping insurance covers loss or damage during international transit — add it when you create your shipment if you'd like extra coverage.
