We invite you to get in touch with us beforehand if you're interested in bidding on or buying a restricted item : click here to contact us.

Australia
Recent changes in Australian law have required overseas businesses that ship goods to Australia to collect GST (Goods and Services Tax) from Australian customers and submit returns to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Therefore, effective March 24th, 2023 , we will be charging 10% of the declared value for parcels containing Low-Value Goods (1000 AUD or less) bound for Australia as GST, in addition to international shipping and insurance fees (if applicable). This amount will be charged during the shipping fee payment, and it will be clearly indicated and separate from the shipping fee.
Please note that this GST fee will apply to parcels sent from March 24th, regardless of when the orders were paid or packed.
Important : GST will not be directly charged for parcels with a declared price of over 1000 AUD. In such case, the GST payment occurs on the package's arrival in Australia, and the carrier assists you with the payment procedure.
If you have to ship more than 200,000 yens worth of items,we recommend you divide your orders into several parcels. If you place an order for more than 200,000 yens, it won't be possible to divide the item in several parcels, even if it is physically possible.
