Tariffs

Tariffs

Tariffs have been implemented on imported products from foreign countries to the USA. This directly affects the costs associated with importing Japanese Pokémon card products. Right now there’s a 10% import tax on orders over $800 and in a few days there will be a 24% tax. This will inevitably cause the prices of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese Pokémon card products to rise in price quickly as existing inventories are wiped out at cheaper prices and new inventory is purchased at a premium.

Keep in mind that the market price of Japanese products has already been on the rise and this now adds an addition wrinkle to that market. To keep prices as low as possible and to slow down other shops from buying our inventory out in one fell swoop we may be instituting product limits on Japanese Booster Boxes.
