Why am I charged tax for orders fulfilled in Japan?

This does not constitute professional tax advice. We strongly advise consulting a tax specialist to find out your specific obligations.

Grandville Printing is registered as a taxpayer in Japan and it requires us to charge Japanese consumption tax for all domestic orders fulfilled in Japan.

As of February 21, 2022, we’re required to collect a 10% consumption tax on all orders fulfilled in our Japan partner facilities with a delivery address in Japan. 

The formula we use to calculate Japanese consumption tax is (Grandville Printing product price + shipping + digitization)*10%. 

We won’t charge consumption tax for orders fulfilled outside Japan and shipped to Japan, however, your customers may be charged customs duties.
