VAT Calculation

VAT is calculated on the actual total amount paid using the following formula.

VAT = ("Total Amount of Products" + "Shipping Charge" + "Handling Charge" - "Amount of Redeemed Points/Coupon") * VAT Rates

If points/coupon is used at the time of order, VAT will be calculated on the amount after the discount is deducted.

Paying VAT with CDJapan

-If VAT prepayment is available for your order, you can choose to pay it during checkout.
-CDJapan will declare and remit the VAT directly to the relevant country or region.
-No additional VAT will be charged upon delivery when prepaid.

Order Modifications

-If the total amount of products changes due to additions, cancellations, or other modifications, the order will be recalculated, and the applicable exchange rate at the time of recalculation will be used.

Exchange Rates

-The VAT amount is determined based on the exchange rate in effect at the time your order is placed.
-Even if exchange rates fluctuate afterward, the charged amount will not change.
