Can you please confirm that the price you quote on your website includes any Import Tax (does the Gi or belt come straight to my address from Hirota or to you first) ?.
We do pay import Tax and duty in UK. The Gi or belt comes to Ichiban’s address first then we send it to the customer. This is to ensure that there are no errors with the orders. We have had some problems with embroidery in the past. It is part of Ichiban service to ensure that errors are dealt with and corrected and customers are made aware of it.
