In the past I have been sent a message from whatever carrier used and have had to pay them. It was DHL in my case. Not sure if all carriers are the same.

Isn’t there a free trade agreement between US and Japan and the products originating from Japan are tax exempt? Or am I wrong here?

DHL and UPS have online payment.
They notify me the day or two before shipment of the amount owing. FedEx does not and I have to pay the driver at the door via credit card.
I don’t know but if that’s the case that’s great news.
DHL express will let you pay online, but will charge for the service.
If the information (documentation) the seller provides is insufficient, DHL might ask you to fill out a customs form, so be weary of that. Then they will also require you to provide proof of purchase like a receipt, so if the seller declared a lower value the full amount will be taxed anyway in that case. I know because I just had to pay import duties yesterday on an incoming jacket and that exact thing happened to me.

I think this works up to 3K USD and if they ship via EMS. But I’m not 100% sure so you might need to double check.
