While we do our best to get your Starter TSUGUKIT to you as quickly as possible, we understand that there may be unforeseen circumstances that can cause delays, such as transportation issues, customs clearance, or unexpected events like natural disasters or wars. We hope you understand that these things are beyond our control.

Please note that you may be responsible for paying local import taxes and fees, and we are unable to ship to P.O. boxes. If you have any questions about import taxes, IOSS system, returns, or refunds, please refer to our shipping policy for more information.

■ Important Shipping Information

For U.S. customers:
FedEx may request you to submit a "TSCA form" upon receiving the product. As long as it’s submitted by the deadline, your product will be delivered. If requested, we can provide the form, which you’ll need to print and sign. The TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) is a U.S. law regulating the import of toxic substances, including lacquer from Japan, regardless of the seller. Please note, we cannot issue a refund if the TSCA form is not submitted.
If you refuse to submit the TSCA form by the deadline, the shipping company will dispose of the item on the spot, and we will be charged an additional disposal fee.

For EU customers:
Customers are responsible for paying any customs duties before receiving their orders. Unfortunately, we cannot estimate the customs fees in advance. We have heard that customs duties in the EU can be particularly high. Please note that we do not offer refunds under any circumstances.
If you refuse to pay the customs duties upon delivery, the shipping company will dispose of the item on the spot, and we will be charged an additional disposal fee.

1. While waiting for the Starter TSUGUKIT to arrive, what should I prepare? 
Tissues, one pair of scissors, utility knife, all-purpose flour, oil (canola or salad oil), water, additional rubber gloves, ethanol for disinfection use (+/- 70°), an urushi box (carton, wooden or plastic box which can be closed with a lid), plastic wrap and rubber bands if applicable.

2. How many items can I repair with the Starter Kit?
- It is difficult to say exactly how many items can be repaired with the Starter TSUGUKIT, as each item may be different. However, it should be enough to repair one or two plates.

- If you have more items to repair or need a larger quantity of gold powder, you can consider purchasing the Traditional TSUGUKIT or Gold Only TSUGUKIT, or buying 0.3 g gold powder refill in advance.

- In addition, silver food-safe finishing powder is also available. You can also find finishing powders at hardware stores, but be sure to check that they are food-safe before purchasing. *All TSUGUKIT products are made from natural, food-safe materials.
