IMPORTANT NOTES

Please read carefully before inquiring

To prevent issues during international transit, we require your agreement to the following disclaimers.

Voltage & After-Sales Support (No Warranty)

Japanese domestic models (100V) are designed exclusively for use in Japan. Once exported, they are strictly excluded from all after-sales support and warranties. While a transformer is required in 220V regions, the manufacturer strongly advises against it as it carries a risk of fire. We strongly recommend choosing a 220V "Overseas Model" if available.

Payment, Invoices, Taxes & Customs

Japanese consumption tax is exempt. However, customs duties, local taxes, and clearance fees may be charged upon arrival and are the sole responsibility of the customer. Please also note that our official quotations and invoices are issued in "Japanese", and all payments must be settled in Japanese Yen (JPY).

CE Certification & Confiscation Risk

Machines without safety certifications like the CE mark (required in Europe) or NSF risk being confiscated or forcibly returned to Japan by customs. If import is denied, shipping fees are strictly non-refundable. We highly recommend considering "Overseas Models" that comply with CE or NSF standards to ensure safe import.

Items that cannot be shipped

While shaved ice machines and maintenance parts (blades, grease) can be shipped, food items such as syrups cannot be shipped overseas. We recommend purchasing spare blades and parts together with the machine, as separate shipments incur additional shipping fees.

Individual Packing Service

[CRITICAL] Damage Disclaimer & Packing Service

100V domestic models come in standard cardboard packaging intended for Japan, posing a higher risk of damage during long-distance international transit. We are not responsible for any damage during transport. For safety, we highly recommend our "Individual Packing Service (Double Packing)" for JPY 10,000 (excluding tax). (*220V overseas models come with reinforced export packaging by default.)

The more complete your information is,
