This requirement is unique to the United States. In most other countries, import duties are paid by the buyer on delivery — but for U.S. orders, I must pay these duties up front on your behalf. For this reason, the cost of U.S. customs duties will be added to the item price. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease feel free to message me with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yutaka, The Creator Tokyo Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55898438795432,"sku":null,"price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/2212\/1640\/files\/IMG_0693.jpg?v=1787356374","url":"https:\/\/yutakatokyo.com\/products\/prince-and-the-revolution-purple-rain-1984-japan-only-purple-vinyl-warner-pioneer-p-13021","provider":"Yutaka, The Creator Tokyo Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
