At Japan Treasure Hunter, we help customers around the world receive treasures from Japan.
International shipping costs vary depending on several factors, so this guide explains how shipping fees are calculated and what to expect before your package is sent.
How International Shipping Costs Are Calculated
Shipping fees are determined by:
- Destination country
- Package weight
- Package dimensions
- Shipping method
Because every order is different, the final shipping cost cannot be confirmed until your items arrive at our location and are packed for shipment.
Check whether the item(s) can be sent.
For example, you can’t send these things.
These are dangerous items that cannot be loaded on aircraft or ships.
⚠️ This is not a complete list. Always check the Japan Post website before shipping.
Some items can be sent to certain countries but not others.
Check the rules for your destination country before shipping.
⚠️ Rules vary by destination. Check the Japan Post website or contact us before shipping.

When Do I Pay International Shipping?
International shipping is charged separately from your product purchase.
The process works as follows:
- Pay for the product and service fee
- We purchase the item
- The item arrives at our location in Japan
- We pack and measure the shipment
- We send an international shipping invoice
- Your package is shipped after payment is received
This ensures that you only pay the actual shipping cost based on the final package size and weight.
