I think they still charge that fee even the package is duty free. Always choose usps( EMS ) first. Unfortunately EMS is not an option these days from most Japan sellers.

Gonna keep checking and grab it when it's available. I put an order in for one through Plat. They will send it once available, no need to check every day and get anxious waiting ridenfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandaragat Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Other than Digitaka and Plat for JDM products, try Fishingbuddy, Lurehaven, and Shimreels based in Singapore. And if you happen to be in Tokyo, drop by Joshuya and Tackleberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
