This Call of Duty image was the best I could come up with for the hero shot—because…duty calls…
The current U.S. administration has implemented tariffs that are now affecting shipments from Japan to the United States.
For now, these changes appear to impact primarily high-value orders over 800 USD, but we expect they may apply to all shipments in the coming days. As a result, FedEx has begun asking us to have some customers complete a Create/Update Importer Identity Form, also known as CBP Form 5106.
If FedEx contacts us regarding your shipment, we may reach out and ask you to fill in this form. You can download it [here] or directly from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website. You do not need to fill in this form unless we or FedEx ask you to do so.
The form may look intimidating, but if you’re an individual (not a business), you’ll only need to complete a few specific sections as listed below. Once filled, please send the form to paperwork@fedex.com and include your airway bill (AWB) number in the subject line. This AWB number will be provided by us once your order ships, and FedEx should also email it to you directly.
Please note that the form has to be returned to FedEx as soon as possible as they state they would sent the package back to Japan 3 days after.

Unfortunately, FedEx doesn’t always contact customers directly—they often ask us to relay these requests on their behalf. We understand this process can be frustrating, and it’s equally frustrating for us. That said, we appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work through these changes together.
So far, DHL has not asked us to contact customers regarding clearance forms. This could be because they are reaching out to customers directly to handle clearance matters themselves.
Please note that we do not know in advance how much you may be charged in duties, and we have no control over customs or clearance fees. If you are unable or unwilling to pay duties, we strongly recommend not placing an order at this time. Refusal to pay duties can result in the parcel being returned to us, which creates complications for both you and our team.
If a package is returned due to non-payment of duties, we may assume that you are unable to receive future orders under current conditions. In such cases, we may need to freeze your account to prevent further shipments and avoid repeated returns.
Thanks again for your understanding.
