Dear Valued Customers,
Thank you for your continued support of KOTOBUKIYA US ONLINE.
We are still in the process of considering strategies for dealing with the new tariffs, but given the current situation, we have unfortunately made the decision to postpone shipment of new products scheduled for release in May and June. Please note that you can still place pre-orders for May and June products despite this delay.
We are currently in the process of shipping the new products scheduled for release in April, and customers who have pre-ordered April 2025 release products can rest assured that they will not be charged any additional tariff-related fees.
We apologize for the time it is taking us to finalize our policies. We will again update you on the situation as soon as we can. Please rest assured that our strategy will be made with your best interests in mind.
Please accept our deepest apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by this decision, and we hope for your understanding during this unprecedented situation.
As always, we are very grateful for your loyal support of Kotobukiya!

To our valued customers,
We want to keep you informed about potential impacts on our product pricing due to recent tariff changes announced by the current administration.
As of April 14, 2025, these changes are making it challenging for us to maintain current pricing, and like many importers, we may need to adjust prices if the tariffs remain in place.
We understand your concerns, especially if you have pre-ordered our products at prices announced before the tariffs went into effect. We feel it wouldn't be wise to finalize our approach at this time. We are, however, committed to announcing a clear policy once the situation stabilizes.
We understand that this situation is challenging for everyone involved. Please rest assured that our strategy will be made with your best interests in mind.
Thank you for your understanding. We will keep you updated as the situation evolves. And of course, we are very grateful for your loyal support of Kotobukiya!
