How WLD Covers Duties, Tariffs, & More for Our US Customers

Imagine you’re shopping for your dream preloved designer bag from Japan, then you’re hit with confusing words like tariffs, customs duties, and de minimis rules because of the new changes.

Allow us to explain with a scenario, just to drive the point home. 

  • Step 1 - You find something like a $328 MCM White Visetos Shoulder Bag on our website and purchase it.
  • Step 2 - You receive the shoulder bag without having to pay any extra fees, tariffs, customs, or taxes at all.  

That’s it! 

What does that mean for your preloved luxury?

The costs of importing luxury bags to the USA from Japan 

Normally, when buying luxury items from overseas, businesses and customers have to deal with: 

  • Reciprocal tariffs: a type of tax on imported goods between countries.
  • Customs duties: an additional charge by the US government on certain imported goods based on their value and materials. 
  • De minimis rule: a $800 threshold where any imported goods under the amount were duty-free. As of September 2025, this exception is gone.

How does the tariff rate affect my luxury good from Japan? 

Before: Customers only needed to worry about customs duties and the $800 threshold for their imported luxury goods. Anything under the amount, there would be no surprises. 

Now, these tariffs and duties will apply no matter what.
