Customs, duties & taxes
Orders shipped outside the UK may be subject to import duties or taxes imposed by the destination country. These are the recipient's responsibility. Our declared value on the customs label is the order total; we do not under-declare values (this protects you if the parcel is lost).
United States: most items under $800 clear duty-free under Section 321 de minimis.
Canada: GST/HST + a small CBSA handling fee may apply on orders over CAD $20.
UK: no import charges — VAT included in your price.
Lost or delayed parcels
If tracking shows no movement for over 10 business days, email us at hello@kojimablades.com. We'll open a case with the carrier and either reship or refund in full.
International shipping of metal replicas
All our replicas are decorative, display-only, not battle-ready. They're shipped legally worldwide as collectible props/fan-made replicas. Customs labels carry an HS code for "ornamental metal sculpture / collectible replica".
