5. About tariffs
In the case of B2B transactions, we can issue a Certificate of Origin, allowing the trade to be conducted under the EPA or CPTPP agreements.
However, as the importer, you must notify your country's customs authorities that the import is being made under the EPA or CPTPP framework.
🌎 EPA Agreement Countries (Economic Partnership Agreements)
Japan has signed EPA (Economic Partnership Agreements) with the following countries and regions. Businesses importing Japanese stone products from these countries may benefit from reduced or zero tariffs when using a valid Certificate of Origin.
| EPA Country / Region |
|---|
| European Union (27 countries incl. Germany, France, Italy) |
| United Kingdom |
| Switzerland |
| Australia |
| New Zealand |
| Mexico |
| Chile |
| Peru |
| Indonesia |

🌏 CPTPP Agreement Countries (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership)
Under the CPTPP agreement, importers in the following countries can also apply for tariff exemptions on Japanese stone lanterns and crafts if a valid Certificate of Origin is submitted.
| CPTPP Country | Effective Date with Japan |
|---|---|
| Japan | December 30, 2018 |

For this reason, EPA or CPTPP-based transactions are generally not feasible for B2C sales.
However, in B2B transactions where both our store and the importing company understand EPA or CPTPP procedures, it is possible to reduce your import duties to 0%.
