Hailey Bieber’s lip secret has Tokyo in a frenzy
As of February 2026, the obsession with Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Japan has reached a fever pitch. Walk through Shibuya or Omotesando, and you will see the distinctive gray packaging everywhere. Hailey Bieber’s brand has managed to create a formula that combines the repair of a mask with the pigment of a tint, making it the most sought-after import in Tokyo beauty circles.
The problem is that Rhode still does not offer direct shipping to Japan. This lack of availability has created a massive secondary market.

The math behind saving ¥5,500 per tube
Save ¥5,500 on your beauty routine by bypassing local resellers. On Japanese marketplace apps, a single tube of Rhode Peptide Lip Tint often retails for ¥8,500 to ¥10,000. In contrast, the US retail price remains approximately $16 (roughly ¥2,400 depending on the exchange rate). Even after adding international shipping, the price gap is staggering.
By using a freight forwarder, you can access the official Rhode website just like a US resident. This allows you to pay the actual retail price rather than the inflated 'Tokyo tax' imposed by boutique importers.

Buying directly from the US store
To shop like a pro, you need a tax-free us address. Rhode's US warehouse is located in a region that often triggers high domestic sales tax, but a forwarder based in Oregon eliminates this extra 7-10% cost. Once you shop us store, your items are sent to a secure facility before being bundled for their journey to Japan.
Shipping Estimates for your Rhode Haul
Calculating your total spend is easier when you know what to expect at the warehouse. Use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote, but here are the general estimates for a typical Rhode order:
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) for 1-3 tubes |
| Box Dimensions | Small (standard padded mailer or small carton) |
| Volumetric Warning | None. Cosmetics are dense and small; you will be charged by actual weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries. Standard shipping rules apply. |
Because these items are so light, it is often smarter to buy the entire collection or 'The Rhode Kit' to maximize your international shipping rates. Shipping one tube costs nearly the same as shipping four.
Import duties and taxes for Japan
When your package arrives in Japan, it is subject to local customs regulations. Generally, personal imports with a total value under ¥16,666 are exempt from import duties and consumption tax. This means if you are just grabbing a few lip tints, you likely won't pay a yen extra to the government. However, for larger hauls, it is wise to keep the 60% rule in mind for customs valuation. If you are unsure, the FAQ section on the forwarder's site has a wealth of information regarding specific Japanese customs limits.
Your path to Hailey’s glow
Many shoppers assume that international logistics are too complex for a single tube of lip gloss. Check this step-by-step guide to see how simple the process has become in 2026. You essentially get a personal suite number in the US, enter it at checkout on the Rhode website, and wait for the notification that your package has arrived.

The reality is that the products are available; you just need the right bridge to get them to your doorstep in Tokyo. With shipping fees becoming more competitive, there is no reason to pay the exorbitant markups found in local resale shops.
By taking control of the procurement process, you ensure that you are getting authentic products directly from the source. No more wondering if that secondary market tube is a counterfeit or expired stock. Just pure, peptide-rich hydration at the price it was meant to be.
