Japan Post says no packages to US >$100

Just FYI, for those who might have missed it. From https://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/information/2025/0825_01_en.html

Because of Trump's executive order, mail to the US "containing goods imported for personal use … will no longer be eligible for duty-free treatment".

Therefore, starting August 27 (Wed.) … we will temporarily suspend the acceptance of postal items (small packets, parcels, and EMS (goods)) to the United States that contain the following items:

  • Individual gifts with a content value exceeding 100 US dollars
  • Goods intended for sale for consumption
