Important Notice Regarding Import Tariffs for US Customers:

Please be advised that, effective August 2025, we anticipate that a 15% import tariff will be levied on the total product price by US Customs upon receipt of your ordered items. As the importer of record, you will be responsible for the payment of any duties, taxes, or customs fees assessed by your local Customs Authority. We kindly request that you take this potential cost into consideration when placing your order.

Based on those rates, duties and taxes could be estimated. The base price used to calculate the duties and taxes should be the total price charged by Kogei Styling (which includes international shipping and handling fees).

However, please be on notice that other charges may occur based on any requirements from the local authority, and we do not guarantee that any actual duties and fees charged will match the estimation.
