With JDM goods, I cannot speak for all distributors because I do not know what their preferred method of operations are.
So what I will do is give some insight on how we work; one reason why JDM goods cost more is because not only does the item have to be made, but some JDM manufacturers charge domestic shipping in Japan which ships the product from their warehouse, to our Japanese office. After that, the item will then be transported overseas via our own container, and it will then hit Customs here in the states. While in Customs, certain percentages will be added to our account such as taxes, fees etc. Once our container clears Customs, it will then be shipped to our warehouse where we will unload, inspect, and then contact customers to arrange shipping. As you can see, there are many factors to consider. The price that we quote our clients is full inclusive meaning that Customs taxes and fees, overseas shipping, domestic shipping in Japan, all of that is taken care of.
In the end when it comes to JDM goods, you are not only paying for the product, but all of the services that we provide to get it to you the fastest, safest, and most affordable way possible.
