Termination of Personal Export Shipping Service and Change in Terms for Corporate/Business Orders

Posted: October 22, 2025

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your continued patronage.

We regret to inform you that we have decided to **terminate our export shipping service for individual customers at the end of October 2025**.

We sincerely thank all customers who have utilized this service. While we have strived to maintain the service since its commencement, recent increases in international shipping costs and changes in export management systems have made it difficult to continue providing stable service to individual customers.

Therefore, all orders placed **on or after October 22, 2025** will be accepted **only from registered importers (corporations/business owners)**. We will no longer be able to accept orders from individual customers.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our loyal individual customers and thank you again for your long-standing support.

We ask for your understanding and continued support.
