Importing mechanical parts from Japan without chartering an expensive container shipment can be an obstacle course. For fairly strict security reasons, companies such as Japan Post or FedEx do not accept certain types of items, whether new or used.

This article provides a non-exhaustive list of items for which import is easy and others for which we cannot offer the service. We use 15 years of feedback and our knowledge of carrier import policies. Let’s get started!
