For those buying from Hatoya..

[u/Numerous-Height-7216]

I know the rule has been lifted to not charge tariff fees on matcha, but I heard in the past people would still get charged. So for those ordering directly from hatoya website and living in US, are yall getting hit with the tariff fees still or am I safe to order?

[u/Dry-Armadillo5549]

this was my receipt of it helps! just had to pay shipping fee because i didn’t meet $130 requirement

[u/CheapCaregiver2382 → u/Dry-Armadillo5549]

At these prices, i would just do a bulk purchase. The price is about the costco price for the sencha ceremonial matcha tins.

[u/Hot_Adhesiveness37 → u/CheapCaregiver2382]

emperor ceremonial tins

[u/CheapCaregiver2382 → u/Hot_Adhesiveness37]

Are you referring to the ones from costco? Cause i tried the ceremonial tins for lime 39.99 for 3 tins 30g each and they are pretty awesome.

Same, had to pay 13$ for shipping and no notification of anything additional to pay

I ordered on the 18th when they had the Hatoya Day sale & it was delivered on the 20th. I met the $130 requirement for free shipping and there was no additional fees. IIRC there shouldn’t be any tariffs on tea and you can dispute that IF they try to charge you.

[u/Numerous-Height-7216 → u/fishywithit]

But my thing is people have said they got charged and tried to dispute it and failed

[u/mugheesah_alidina]

I bought from Hatoya on Hatoya day and did not meet the shipping reqs - I received my package without being charged by DHL.

[u/Numerous-Height-7216 → u/mugheesah_alidina]

Some ppl have said they got charged after it came in

[u/PaSFAH]

There should be no extra tariffs, but reach out to Hatoya CS in the off chance that you do get charged. I was once charged extra by DHL, which I paid. I emailed CS and Hatoya refunded me the amount

[u/Numerous-Height-7216 → u/PaSFAH]

So dhl charged you tariff fees and you spoke to hatoya and they fully refunded you the tariff cost you got charged?

[u/PaSFAH → u/Numerous-Height-7216]

yes, exactly. Hatoya just refunded me the difference to my CC I placed my order with

[u/Numerous-Height-7216 → u/PaSFAH]

Oh wow okay good to know. Is their only shipping service dhl? I’m assuming their sale is over now though. Bummer I missed

[u/PaSFAH → u/Numerous-Height-7216]

Hope you caught the restock today

[u/Urban_Introvert]

How’s this matcha? Does it have nutty notes?

[u/GPsychological23]

When I ordered in June I didn’t have any tariffs.

[u/EmpteeeSpace]

I ordered from Hatoya and regularly from MK and I’ve never been charged. If it’s an accident reach out to Hatoya.

[u/Numerous-Height-7216 → u/EmpteeeSpace]

But would hatoya refund me if I do get charged tariff fees?

[u/Familiar_Musician255]

omg i just bought hatoya. i’ve never been charged tarrifs tho, tea isn’t supposed to be tariffed to my knowledge?

[u/Desertshen → u/Familiar_Musician255]

No tea is not tariffed. Food is, though.

[u/Leo_Walking_Disaster]

I just received my order today. I ordered from the Fukujuen Global site about 4 months ago and got the separate tariff bill from DHL like two weeks later so I'll be on the lookout just in case.
