More about shipping to Japan

The price gap: Japan versus US retailers

In 2026, the retail price for the EP–1320 Medieval in the United States sits firmly at $299. However, when these units arrive at Japanese distributors, the price often jumps to over 58,000 JPY due to logistics overhead and local markups. By choosing to shop us store directly, you can bypass these middleman fees. Even after accounting for shipping, many users find they save approximately $85 (roughly 12,000 JPY) compared to buying from domestic music shops.

Shipping estimates and logistics details

Before you place your order, it is essential to understand the physical profile of the device to accurately estimate shipping cost. The EP–1320 is a lightweight device, but the packaging requires adequate protection.

Since the device relies on AAA batteries rather than an integrated lithium-ion pack, you avoid the stricter international regulations often associated with shipping electronics. This makes the international shipping service faster and more straightforward.

Step-by-step guide to buying from the US

Ordering from US-based pro-audio retailers like Sweetwater or B&H is the most efficient way to secure your unit. Because many US retailers do not ship directly to Japan at affordable rates, using a freight forwarder is the standard workaround. This provides you with a tax-free us address, allowing you to avoid US sales tax at checkout.

Follow this how it works summary to get started:

• Register for a US shipping address.
• Purchase the EP–1320 Medieval from a US retailer using that address.
• Once the package arrives at the warehouse, notify the provider to ship it to Japan.
• Track your package until it reaches your doorstep in Japan.

Importing to Japan: What you need to know

When the package enters Japan, it will pass through customs. For items valued around $300, you should expect to pay Japan's consumption tax (10%). However, there is typically no custom duty on small electronic musical instruments. Even with this 10% tax and the cost of international shipping, the total expenditure remains significantly lower than the Japanese retail price. This direct approach ensures you get the latest gear without the wait for local restocking or the inflated local price tags of 2026.
