Hello, indeed, as stated on our website, it is possible that there are taxes to be paid upon receipt of the package depending on your country of residence. We have no control over customs checks. However, the amount requested by your country's postal service seems to be excessively high; there must be an error. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything from Japan regarding taxes imposed by other countries, but if we can provide you with something to dispute the amount requested by the postal service, please do not hesitate to contact us. We're truly sorry for any inconvenience caused.
