How we calculate shipping costs from the US to Japan?
At MyUS, we don’t believe in hidden fees or confusing calculations. With MyUS TruePrice™ guaranteed pricing*, we take the mystery out of shipping by charging by package weight only. Others in our industry use a complicated calculation based on dimensional (or volumetric) weight. Dimensional weight is calculated based on a package’s length, width, and height. If the dimensional weight comes out higher than the package weight, you are billed the higher price. A lighter package can suddenly become expensive, just because of package size.
How long does it take to ship from the US to Japan?
The average shipping time from the US to Japan depends on which shipping option and carrier you choose. Typically, economy or budget shipping options delivery in 4 to 10 business days while express shipping options arrive in 1-4 business days. MyUS members are free to choose their preferred carrier and shipping option for each shipment.

Do I have to pay duties and taxes when shopping from the US and shipping to Japan?
Yes, in most cases you will have to pay duties and taxes when shopping from the US and shipping internationally. Each country determines the assessment of duties and taxes differently.
-
Your country's de minimis value determines if local customs will assess a duty or tax on your shipment.
-
Duties and VAT are calculated as a percentage of the customs value of the goods (item + insurance + shipping).
-
MyUS offers the option to pay duties at the time of shipping for eligible international shipments, or you will be billed directly by your global carrier.
Read our blog post to learn more about how duties and taxes are calculated.

Thank you for smooth processing and perfect packing! I count on your service for my business. Please keep providing good quality service for users.
Thanks for the great service! I had previously used a competitor (let's call them "shipito") and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. MyUs.com really came through for me and I plan to continue doing business with them. Thanks again!
Thanks to Jeremy for doing such a great job with my packages. They were consolidated into one box, (I thought it would have been two) and I was very concerned about the books being shipped together with the hair coloring, and other liquids. Oh, it reached really quickly as well. It was shipped on Monday and I got it by Thursday. Thanks again.

Some say they do, like Bath & Body Works, but use third-party e-commerce providers that may cost more to ship to your location.
