[Important Update] Enhanced Shipping Service for the United States

[Important] Resumption of Direct EMS Shipping to the USA & Implementation of DDP Support

Thank you for your continued support and patience. We are pleased to announce two major improvements to our services for our United States customers.

1. Full Resumption of Direct EMS Shipping to the USA

Following the temporary suspension of EMS shipping to the United States that began in late August 2025, we have successfully restored a stable delivery route. Direct EMS Shipping to the USA has now fully resumed, allowing you to order directly from our website once again.

2. New DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) Support

To ensure a more transparent shopping experience, we have officially implemented DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) on our online store for all U.S. addresses. This ensures that your total cost is clear from the moment you check out.

  • No Hidden Fees: Estimated customs duties and taxes are now calculated and pre-paid at checkout.
  • No Surprise Invoices: You will not receive unexpected bills from customs or carriers upon delivery.
  • Priority Clearance: Pre-paid tax data facilitates faster processing by U.S. Customs.

We recommend ordering directly through our website for the most seamless and efficient experience. We sincerely appreciate your patience during the period when direct shipping was unavailable.

*Note: DDP benefits apply specifically to orders placed directly through our official online store.
