    -What did Japan Post announce?

    Japan Post has confirmed the discontinuation of certain Registered Mail services that means Small Package / AirMail (Economy).

     

    Instead of Small Package (economy shipping), a new replacement service called “ePacket Light” will be introduced. For the time being, this service will be available only for selected countries.

     
    Table categorizing countries and areas into five different geographical zones.

    -How does this affect Aiyu Japan shipments?

    Aiyu Japan regularly use Japan Post services, especially:

    • Small Package (AirMail / Economy)
    • EMS (Express Mail Service)

     

    With these changes:

    - Small Package (AirMail / Economy) will no longer be available for certain contents

    - EMS will continue to be available without any changes.

     

    -Effective date

    December 31, 2025

    Until that date, current services will continue to operate normally.

     

    -Our commitment to you

    We are already exploring more affordable international shipping alternatives. We hope that by early 2026, we will be able to count on UPS and FedEx as new shipping partners.

    For the time being, you may continue using EMS (Express Mail Service) and DHL Express shipments without any issues.
