Quick Answer
This guide covers how UK-to-Japan Pokemon shipping works, what it costs, how customs are handled, and what English and Japanese product we stock. If you just want to start browsing, jump to our Pokemon catalogue directly.
Why buy Pokemon cards from a UK shop in Japan
A few reasons Japan-based collectors of English Pokemon product order from UK retailers rather than only from local shops:
- English Pokemon sealed at UK MSRP. English Pokemon TCG product is hard to source at fair prices inside Japan, with most Tokyo card shops focused on Japanese SKUs. We stock current English booster boxes, ETBs and bundles at UK retail prices and ship directly.
- EU and UK Pokemon Center exclusives. Special collections, promo bundles and Pokemon Center UK exclusives often skip the Japanese release calendar entirely. If you want a UK-region collector item, ordering from a UK shop is the most direct route.
- We're honest about scope. For Japanese-languagePokemon product, you almost certainly want a domestic Japanese retailer instead of us, we'd be reselling Japanese sets back to you with UK importer mark-up plus international shipping. Use us when you want English-language sealed.
- Fully tracked end-to-end. Every Japan order ships with UPS with full tracking, and your UPS delivery quote shows the service and expected delivery time. Consumption tax (10%) applies above ¥10,000 declared value and is collected by UPS on delivery, together with the UPS clearance (brokerage) fee.
How shipping to Japan works
How shipping to Japan works
Every Japan order leaves our UK warehouse with UPS, fully tracked from our hand-off all the way to your door. We pack and dispatch from our own fulfilment desk in 1-2 business days, no third-party drop-shipping.
Delivery is quoted per order rather than priced at checkout. Request a UPS delivery quote from your cart (a free Packrat account is required) and we email you the UPS price within 2 working days, showing the UPS service and expected delivery time. You then pay for your goods and delivery together by card from the link in that email. You have 48 hours to pay once quoted, and we hold your items for you in the meantime.
- •Weight limit:Orders up to 30 kg can ship to Japan, so sealed booster boxes, multi-box orders and case breaks are all fine.
- •Tracking: Every UPS parcel is tracked. You get the tracking number by email when we dispatch.
- •Import charges: Import tax, any customs duty and the UPS clearance (brokerage) fee are paid by you to UPS on delivery and are not included in your order total.
- •Currency: Checkout is in GBP, but the cart shows an approximate JPY estimate next to the GBP total. Your card issuer handles the actual conversion at interbank rates, usually a few percent better than high-street currency exchanges.

Import tax and customs, explained
Import VAT and duties on Japan orders
We ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU). Import tax, any duty and the UPS clearance (brokerage) fee are paid by you to UPS on delivery, so they are not included in your order total. Japan applies consumption tax (10%) on imports above ¥10,000 declared value. Most sealed TCG orders will fall above this threshold and incur consumption tax, plus the UPS clearance (brokerage) fee, paid to UPS on delivery.
