MATSUThe short answer: MATSU ships Japanese matcha from Japan to 17 countries with published landed pricing, and to 17+ more on request. Minimum 1 kg per grade.
- Eight grades, the full ladder. Shipping is added on top and shown separately, never hidden in the unit price
- Typically 7–10 days from cleared payment, tracked door to door
- Pick your country below for the landed cost, the local import charges, and what we actually see from that market
What one kilogram costs, country by country
The same kilogram of MATSU Standard — our entry grade in the entry band — delivered to each market. Freight is set by air zone, so neighbours share a figure; the local import charge is what separates them.

* Duty and local tax, settled by you on arrival. Planning estimates, not rulings — MATSU does not collect or remit them. Where it reads ask, we have not verified the current rate and will not publish a figure we cannot stand behind.
Not on the list?
We ship to about eighty countries. The pages above exist because those markets ask most often, not because the others are closed. Send the destination, the grade and the volume, and you get an exact total the same way — the calculation is the same one that charges the card.
Two honest exceptions. Qatar and Kuwait: Japan Post has suspended mail to both, so we are not taking orders there for now. Uzbekistan: Japan Post does not carry EMS there, so we quote it on a courier route, priced per shipment. We would rather tell you this up front than take an order we cannot deliver.

Frequently asked questions
Which countries does MATSU ship matcha to?
About eighty. The 17 above have published landed pricing; the rest are quoted on request using the same calculation. We are not taking orders for Qatar or Kuwait at the moment, and Uzbekistan needs a courier route rather than the standard postal one.
Is freight included in the per-kilogram price?
No. The per-kg price is the matcha; shipping is added on top and shown separately, so you can see what the tea costs and what the transport costs. The country pages show both, and the total.
Who pays import duty and tax?
The buyer, on arrival. It varies from nothing at all — the United Kingdom and Malaysia — to about 21% in Saudi Arabia. Each country page states the local figure.
What is the minimum order?
1 kg per grade, in 100 g steps, and grades can be mixed. No distributor account, no annual commitment.
