# How to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards from Japan

Yu-Gi-Oh shares the card lane. No Yu-Gi-Oh-only fee is in the dataset.

Estimates only. Not a quote, not a customs ruling, and not an offer to sell or ship. Confirm fees, prohibitions, and duty with the proxy and with destination customs. Figures can change after the last-verified date.

JapanLanded may later earn a commission when someone uses a referral link. Affiliate enrollments are not in place, so outbound links are public pages, not tracked referrals. We do not sell the goods. Names of proxies and products are used to describe them and are their owners' trademarks.

Data as of 2026-10-15. Dataset 2026-10-15.3.

## Same parcel, same gaps

A few cards or a small box is an easy Japan Post shape: no lithium cell, no mains voltage. Canada is named in the EMS extract as part of zone 3, with Mexico, Europe, Oceania, and the Middle East. That zone's published rates are what the sample uses, still as a reference rather than a proxy quote.

Authenticity and the secondary-market price are not checked. If the auction is on Yahoo Auctions, you still need a proxy; this dataset has no Yahoo-specific buyer fee of its own.

## Worked example

4500 yen, 80 g, Canada. Export check: nothing in this dataset blocks export to Canada. This is not a customs clearance.

| Proxy | Pay now, known | EMS reference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Buyee | ¥5,150 – ¥6,500 | ¥3,150 |
| ZenMarket | ¥5,300 | ¥3,150 |
| Neokyo | ¥5,350 | ¥3,150 |
| Tenso | ¥4,780 | ¥3,150 |
| FROM JAPAN | ¥4,500 | ¥3,150 |
| White Rabbit Express | ¥4,500 | ¥3,150 |

These partial sums are not a landed total. No cheapest and no fastest proxy. Domestic postage, payment fees, and the proxies' own international rates are missing or ranged, and no transit times are stored. Naming a winner would invent a number.

## Steps

1. **Copy the yen price.** Read the price on the listing yourself. JapanLanded does not fetch the page.
2. **Weigh it, or say you didn't.** Enter grams. If you leave weight blank, the tool uses an unsourced placeholder and labels it.
3. **Read pay-now separately from arrival.** The partial sum is not a landed total. Duty amounts are not calculated.
4. **Check whether it can leave Japan.** Lithium batteries, alcohol, and 100 V gear each have their own note. The result is not a customs clearance.
5. **Order on the proxy's own site.** Outbound links are public pages until affiliate programs are enrolled. We never take payment.

## Questions

### Does Buyee charge per card?

The transcribed Buyee fee is once per order, not once per card. A multi-seller cart can still be more than one order. That split is not modeled.
