Questions about Tatami

>Are these tatami made in Japan? Is there a shipping fee for shipping to the US?

The prices for the products noted on our website include the cost of
shipping from Japan

The mats will be sent by DHL within one week of the order reception,
and arrive in the United States two or three days later.

[Q-2]

>So I am building a tea-room (Chashitsu) in my house and the dimensions are 8.1ftx8.1ft (approx.) Do you have any tatami that will allow for a 4.5 mat room? Or can this be custom made?

● Room size: 8.1ft x8.1 ft ( 106 inches × 106 inches )

A room of this size requires 9 tatami mats with each having the

[Q-3]

I tried using another vendor (thru Amazon) who makes similar tatami but their mats were not completely right angled. This was frustrating and did not work for me. Do you guarantee that the measurements will be exactly the same on all mats and that the corners will be exactly right angles?

Please check the pictures of the sides and corners of the tatami.

[Q-4]

>How much is the import tax?

Import tax differs according to the country.

Further, it changes each time, so I cannot answer what the amount will be.

When I made a shipment to the US recently, it was 7%.

Please inquire to the customs authorities for details.
