Buying from resellers in Japan vs. using a freight forwarder

You might be tempted to check local marketplace apps in Japan, but the price markup for imported Sanrio collabs can be eye-watering. Often, resellers will charge double the retail price just because it is a US exclusive. When you compare local resellers vs. using a freight forwarder like comGateway, the savings become obvious. By using a tax-free us address, you pay the actual US retail price and only handle the international shipping cost, which is usually much cheaper than the reseller's profit margin.

Getting the US-exclusive prints to your door

The easiest way to shop is to head directly to the Baggu website or US retailers like Urban Outfitters. If you find that a store doesn't accept your local credit card, don't worry. You can use a BuyForMe service to have an expert handle the purchase for you. This proxy shopping method is the ultimate lazy hack because it removes all the stress of payment declines. Once your bag arrives at your US suite, you can manage everything from your phone and have it sent to Japan via DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping.

Shipping Estimates for your Baggu order

Before you hit the checkout button, it is a good idea to know what to expect for your shipping package. Baggu bags are famously lightweight, which makes them ideal for international shipping.

Metric Estimate
Box Weight Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs)
Box Dimensions Small (Approx. 25cm x 15cm x 10cm)
Volumetric Warning Low. Since the bag is soft fabric, it can be shipped in a polymailer or a very small box to minimize size.
Battery Check None. This item does not contain lithium batteries.

To get a more precise number for your specific location in Japan, you should use a shipping calculator. If you have questions about how weights are rounded, the FAQ section has all the details.

Understanding Japan import tax and duties

When bringing goods into Japan, you need to be aware of the 10,000 JPY threshold. Generally, if your total order value (including shipping) is under 16,666 JPY, you might be exempt from certain import tax and consumption taxes. However, for leather goods or specific textiles, rules can vary. You might also like to read our detailed breakdown on import duties to ensure you aren't surprised by any extra fees at your doorstep. Using package forwarding allows you to consolidate multiple items into one box, which can sometimes help you manage these costs more effectively.
