International Buyers -Please Note-
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up.
Please do not regard it as the additional shipping charge. It is the cost the customers have to pay.
Paying tax and custom clearance handling charge is the duty of the person who buy something from another country.
We cannot estimate how much you have to pay to your custom in your country prior to your purchase because customers from more than 190 countries buys from PLAT and import tax is different from items and countries.
And import tax or VAT is changed frequently.
Based on the above, We cannot pay for your import tax on my side.
If you refuse the parcel, one of the three things below will happen.
1. You pay the tax and receive the parcel (normal).
2. You pay the tax and the deliverer throw the parcel away.
3. You pay the tax and the reshipping charge and the deliverer ship the parcel back to our office.
In other words, even if you refuse the parcel because of the custom, you have to pay the custom anyway.
Please understand it. Thank you.

The rule of refund
We have got an important notice that Paypal changed their rule on 2020 March 16th.
1) Paypal has started charging all sellers the handling charge for all refunds.
Here is the detail of the handling charge.
3.75% of the refunded price + 40YEN
From the reason, we will subtract the amount above and refund the rest if the reason of the cancel is due to your personal circumstances.
ex) If the refunded price is 1,000YEN, we will subtract 3.75%(38YEN) + 40YEN = 78YEN form 1,000YEN, so you will get 922YEN.
2) Paypal also charges all sellers the handling charge whenever we send customers invoices.
The handling charge depends on the price of what customers add.
Therefore, please pay attention when you pay and make sure to decide your final order before you pay otherwise you will lose your precious money.
