AmiAmi issued a statement on its English main page going over how it will handle the end of the De Minimis Exemption due to President Donald Trump’s executive order and tariffs, especially as Japan Post suspended most shipments as a result of it. It said that it won’t cancel orders, and will instead hold them in its warehouse until a time when it can be shipped.

The AmiAmi English branch also offered three types of updates depending on shipment status. If someone paid and their order didn’t ship out in time before the suspension, it is on hold, at the warehouse, and could be canceled. If someone hasn’t paid, AmiAmi isn’t taking payments for these US shipments that are in limbo due to the executive order yet. It said it will only invoice once it finds a way to ship items. It also said it is investigating “non-postal shipping options.” It directed shoppers experiencing issues or who may want to cancel to submit support requests.

This is one of multiple retailers that shared an update on US mail and package shipments as a result of Trump ending De Minimis Exemption and his tariffs situation. Good Smile Company, Hobby Link Japan, and Tokyo Otaku Mode are among stores that are suspending shipments. VGP isn’t, but said to expect delays.

De Minimis Exemption is now ended, and it is unknown when Japan Post, DHL, and other shipments to the US will resume as a result of it. The AmiAmi English site will issue updates in the future.
