    Three questions merchants ask about Japan.

    Do my Japanese customers pay anything when the parcel arrives?
    No. Duty and consumption tax are paid at checkout and the parcel travels settled.
    How fast does a parcel reach Japan?
    Teleship Standard DDP takes 6–9 business days, tracked. DHL Express takes 2–5 business days. Both are duty-paid.
    What if the duty comes in higher than you quoted?
    Whatever we quote your customer at checkout is what you pay. If customs charges more, Teleship pays the difference.
