International Delivery Services
We currently offer cross-border delivery to Macau, Taiwan and Singapore. For delivery arrangements and shipping costs to other countries or regions, please contact us before ordering. All orders are shipped via FedEx Priority service (except Macau), with an estimated delivery time of 2–5 business days. Please note that actual delivery times may vary depending on customs clearance procedures in the destination country, which are not included in the above estimate.
Important:
1. To ensure smooth delivery, recipients are responsible for monitoring their email and promptly responding to any requests from FedEx or local customs authorities. Failure to do so may result in delays.
2. Please note that cold-chain delivery is not available for international shipment. By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks associated with temperature changes during transit. To help reduce the risk, we will carefully wrap the items with insulation material and include ice packs where possible, in order to prolong the cooling effect for as long as reasonably practicable.
Weather Conditions
Exposure to extreme heat or cold during transit may affect the quality of alcoholic beverages. As FedEx does not provide temperature-controlled shipping, we recommend requesting a shipment delay during periods of adverse or hot weather. We are happy to hold your order and arrange dispatch once weather conditions improve. This storage service is provided at no additional cost.
Customs & Duties
All prices listed on our website cover the product value only and do not include any import duties, taxes, or customs-related charges. These fees are the responsibility of the recipient and are determined by the regulations of the destination country or region. While we provide general estimates of applicable duties below, for the most accurate and up-to-date information, we recommend contacting your local customs authority directly.
Once an order has been shipped, the international shipping fee is non-refundable if the shipment cannot be successfully delivered due to customs regulations, clearance requirements, duties, documentation issues, or any other customs-related matters in the destination country or region. The product payment may be refunded depending on the circumstances. Any applicable handling fees, return shipping costs, duties, taxes, and other expenses already incurred will be deducted from the refundable amount.

Alcohol Import Tax Information
Macau is a free port, and general imported goods are duty-free. Regarding alcohol, Macau's current consumption tax primarily targets spirits with an alcohol concentration of 30% vol or above (e.g., Whisky, Brandy).
Japanese Sake usually has an alcohol content between 15–20%, which is below the taxation threshold; therefore, it generally does not require payment of alcohol consumption tax.
For spirits with an alcohol content of ≥30%, the tax rate is: 10% of the CIF (Product price including shipping) value, plus MOP 20 per liter.
Tax Calculation Examples
Example A:
Alcohol Type: Japanese Sake 720ml
Quantity: 1 bottle
Alcohol Content: 15%
CIF Value (Product price including shipping): MOP 200
Consumption Tax: Not Applicable (Alcohol content below 30%)
Total Tax Payable: MOP 0
Example B:
Alcohol Type: Japanese Whisky 700ml
Quantity: 1 bottle
Alcohol Content: 40%
CIF Value (Product price including shipping): MOP 500
Consumption Tax (10% of CIF): MOP 50
Consumption Tax (Per Liter): 0.7L × MOP 20 = MOP 14
Total Tax Payable: MOP 50 + MOP 14 = MOP 64

Quantity: 1 bottle
Alcohol Content: 15%
CIF Value (Product price including shipping): TWD 1000
Tax Calculation:
Customs Duty: TWD 1000 x 20% = TWD 200
Alcohol Tax: TWD 7 x 15 x 0.72L = TWD 75.6
Business Tax: (TWD 1000 + TWD 200 + TWD 75.6) x 5% = TWD 63.78
Total Tax Payable: TWD 200 + TWD 75.6 + TWD 63.78 = TWD 339.38

Quantity: 1 bottle
Alcohol Content: 10%
CIF Value (Product price including shipping): TWD 1000
Tax Calculation:
Customs Duty: TWD 1000 x 10% = TWD 100
Alcohol Tax: TWD 7 x 10 x 0.75L = TWD 52.5
Business Tax: (TWD 1000 + TWD 100 + TWD 52.5) x 5% = TWD 57.625
Total Tax Payable: TWD 100 + TWD 52.5 + TWD 57.625 = TWD 210.125
Example C:
Alcohol Type: Japanese Whisky 700ml
Quantity: 1 bottle
Alcohol Content: 40%
CIF Value (Product price including shipping): TWD 2000
Tax Calculation:
Customs Duty: Exempt
Alcohol Tax: TWD 2.5 x 40 x 0.7L = TWD 70
Business Tax: (TWD 2000 + TWD 70) x 5% = TWD 103.5
Total Tax Payable: TWD 70 + TWD 103.5 = TWD 173.5
