>Right now, the $800 de minimis exemption is still in place for Japan—meaning smaller packages are not subject to tariffs.
CEO of the proxy shipper I use said as much. And some random political stuff on their theory of why the tariffs exist.

For this person who is asking about
https://booth.pm/en/items/6363254 on GNFOS . I would say they are good quality. I believe what the Japs mean by
double suede is a better quality fabric than Suede.
These tap I bought has really nice fabric and print quality
https://booth.pm/en/items/6473566 https://booth.pm/en/items/5972057Meanwhile something like this had poor quality
https://booth.pm/en/items/6413705 and is on polyester suede.
https://booth.pm/ja/items/6443158 This one's image quality is fine, but they folded it and the fabric is pretty rough.
So the gist here is that the image should look crisp(hard to know sometimes) and it should be printed on W Suede.
The video I posted has a good guide

I looked into some japanese sites and double suede means double layered so it has less transparency. I have one which is kinda seethrough so I understand the difference. If it's not Suede you should be buying it for cheap

Daki pillows touched down at local airport before they could hike prices(maybe). Now I will be able to snugle with all the Kaleid Liners

160cm almost too long for a daki. I bought 2 more for some others which just cleared customs. Illya and miyu

For some reason pixiv has started cropping the images of a lot more lolicon items.
It's not like you can't buy them or if when shipping them in they're on the customs manifest, but it seems like there's a bit more government intervention in the transportation of physical merch out of Japan.
https://foxmoonbow.booth.pm/items/6848347It's not atypical that they have to do this, but is interesting to see that it's an active policy that's enforced.

>>152681Thanks, I checked and yes I will have to pay shipping later. At least I can pay for the fumo in 3 payments thanks to Paypal with no interests. Seriously, Paypal is only good for this service.

>>152704buying from japan is really expensive when you take in VAT and shipping... For all my stuff I end up paying twice basically. I have the money, but it's still annoying as heck.
Like for decorating all the walls of my bedroom with tapestries it's probably like 600$ and I could still go further... then importing has probably been about 300$ on top of that... then you could add on accrylics, dakis and so on.
So if I wanted to do a big shopping spree of japanese stuff if I won the lottery it would be better in the end to just go to Japan and carry back 1400$ of stuff, pay the VAT as a good citizen and go on your way.
The other cost is that the government has opened my packages like 3 times now. They seem to have stopped and I think they didn't understand what tapestry rolls looked like, but if you violate local laws you could go in jail or confescates it..

When I go to glorious 日本 I'll have to get more... for now it's way too expensive.. not even paying tariffs and shipping + vat ends up costing the entire price of what I import.
Was wondering if you have to present ID to buy adult stuff in Japan as well and how a gaijin does that...

>>154447>Was wondering if you have to present ID to buy adult stuff in Japan as well and how a gaijin does that...No you don't. Maybe if you look obviously underaged or are like wearing a school uniform or something then they'd ask, but otherwise it just works by the honour system. Plus, they don't want to have to figure out how to ask you in English and to decipher your ID any more than you do, so being a gaijin basically gives you a free pass in situations like that.

>>154848The second one in the top row is the catalogue. Other than that, almost all of them are doujinshi, with the exception of the top left one (tankobon) and the far bottom left (illustration book). The pair on the right are doujinshi but without words IIRC.
A large portion of the stuff at Comitia was illustration books and other stuff of that sort, but I don't really have much interest in buying that kind of stuff unless it is from an artist I really like (and there were only two artists there that I am familiar with; neither selling anything I wanted), so that's why I didn't get many.
Also worth mentioning that Comitia is only for original works, not parodies, which is why none of the characters are recognizable.
>>154847The two on the far bottom left are both by circle
Far From Ok. One, Tsukumo Oujo, is an illustration book, the other, Ame, is a doujinshi of sorts. I thought the art-style was really cool, which is why I got them. The third black-and-white one on the bottom left, Atama Occult, is by a different circle (Maki Harigane), and I got it mostly because the printing seemed somewhat unusual. I haven't read it yet, but it looks to be a horror manga.
