Please refrain from bidding from the US for the time being. ********************* ******Shipping to Italy ? Important Information******* Due to the current situation of international mail processing in Italy, packages may take significantly longer to clear customs and be delivered compared to other countries. It is not uncommon for customs clearance to take 3?8 weeks, even when the package arrives in Italy quickly. Please note: ・Italian customs may require additional time for inspection. ・Tracking updates may stop for a long period during customs processing. ・Delivery delays do not necessarily indicate a lost package. *************************************** Items will be shipped in a sturdy, special box with cushioning material between them. Shipping will be by Japan Post. ! Please note! Items will be shipped from Japan. Due to the recent increase in packaging and shipping costs, shipping will be around 30 euros. We plan to lower the shipping fee if various costs decrease in the future, so we appreciate your understanding. ☆★☆★☆★About customs duties☆★☆★☆★ According to Catawiki regulations, customs duties are borne by the recipient of the package. Please note that the presence and amount of customs duties vary by country, so we cannot make a general statement. *Customs duties are calculated based on the total amount of "item price + shipping fee". *Please check the information for each country in advance for detailed amounts. ☆★☆★☆★To everyone viewing our products☆★☆★☆★ Thank you for your interest in our products!
