FAQ

Do I pay customs duty on figures from Japan?

Usually not — under the EU–Japan EPA, figures are generally duty-free (0%). Import VAT does apply, however.

From what value does it get expensive?

The 19% import VAT has applied from the first euro since July 2021. Duty is only charged above €150 in value, but for figures usually at 0%.

How is the EUSt calculated?

EUSt = (item value + shipping + any duty) × 19%. The carrier also adds a customs handling fee.

Do Yosimarket prices include these charges?
