2025.08.26
Thank you for your continued support of the Good Smile Company Online Store.
Following the announcement made by Japan Post on 30th July 2025, regarding the U.S. Government’s executive order to suspend de minimis treatment, Japan Post has suspended acceptance of small packets, parcels, and EMS (merchandise) addressed to the United States effective Wednesday, 27th August 2025.
For further details, please refer to the official notice from Japan Post:

As a result, shipments from our store to the United States will also be temporarily suspended beginning 27th August 2025.
■ Affected Regions
United States of America (including the mainland and overseas territories)
■ Suspension Start Date
From Thursday, August 28, 2025 (sequentially)
■ Reason for Suspension
Due to the U.S. government suspension of the duty-free de minimis exemption and new procedural requirements for international carriers, Japan Post has temporarily paused acceptance of EMS and other postal items.
■ Future Measures
We are currently reviewing alternative shipping methods and the prospects for resuming shipments. Once a course of action has been determined, we will provide further updates and resume shipments as soon as possible.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation.
