Spray/Paint Shipping suspension & General Shipping delay on Chemical containing items

Updated Date: 2009 Dec 24th

We truely regret to report that exporting chemical containing material, spray cans is strictly banned by the reinforced exporting law, so any shipment contains those items will not be accepted by Japon post international logistic center.

Shipping any chemical containing items such as bottled colors, thinners, Detergents, Cements and smilar are strictly banned.
Any exports of those items need to present MSDS (Material safety data sheet). Still, if this MSDS is found not permitted to ship by the government facility/delivery agents, we are unable to ship eitherway.

As of Dec 20th 2009, TAMIYA is only the manufacturer who agreeds to present MSDS for us.

GSI Creos, Gaia notes officially denied to presend MSDS (which, we believe, a violation of related MSDS law).

We will contact by e-mail each customers whose order is sent back by these problems.


Consequently, We have stopped carrying GSI CREOS and GAIA NOTES items (non-paint items are still OK to ship) for mail order.
Also, for the other items suspected to violate reinforced export law, we will suspend to ship.


Any questions please forward inquiry to information desk
