U.S. Tariffs & Duties Policy

🇺🇸 U.S. Tariffs & Duties Policy

No Surprise Charges

All orders shipped to the United States are sent Delivered Duty Paid (DDP).
This means:

  • Tariffs, duties, and import fees are prepaid by Otaku House

  • You will not be asked to pay extra when your package arrives in USA

  • The price you see at checkout includes tariffs and duties 

Why Is This Needed?

Starting August 29, 2025, the U.S. government removed the de minimis exemption for imports.

  • Before: Orders under $800 entered the U.S. without tariffs/duties.

  • Now: All imports are subject to duties.

To keep your experience simple, we cover these costs upfront and build them into your checkout price.

What’s Included in My Price?

When you check out, the following are already included:

  • ✅ U.S. import tariffs & customs duties

  • ✅ Courier handling & advancement/dispersion fees

  • ✅ Any other required import fees

You will not need to pay the courier or customs when your order is delivered in the U.S.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get a bill from FedEx, DHL, or USPS when my package arrives?
A: No. We ship DDP, so you will not be billed for duties or fees on delivery.

Q: Why did my shipping cost change?
A: Since tariffs are now required by law, we’ve included them upfront in our checkout price. This keeps everything transparent, no hidden fees.

Returns & Refusals

  • Since tariffs are prepaid by Otaku House, refusing delivery will not cancel these costs.

  • If your order is returned because it was refused/undeliverable, we may deduct shipping and non-recoverable clearance fees from any refund.
