Katsujinken Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 Just wanted to share my experience. I received a blade from a dealer in Japan the other day. It was shipped using the antiques tariff code and passed through US customs on May 2nd. No tariffs / duties! I honestly had no idea what to expect. 2 1 1 Quote

Good to hear, I hope that is the standard and not just a mistake on someone in customs. We'll see what happens when mine comes in. 1 Quote
Rawa Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 Werent all tariffs suspended for 3 months? Except china? Or EU? 1 Quote
atm Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 There is still a base 10% tariff on imports (except for China and Hong Kong at higher rates). The 90-day pause was only for the proposed tariff amounts over the 10% base. For Japan, that was an added 14%, for a total of a 24% tariff. 1 Quote
