Special Categories
These are categories of items we have successfully handled in the past. However, approval always depends on the specific case and your country's regulations, so we cannot guarantee every request will be possible.
⚠️ Important: Please check your country's import regulations before ordering. Lunarcat will handle the export process from Japan and assist with import documentation when possible, but we are not liable for any event that occurs once the item has shipped.
