When purchasing an item through WorldShopping, the user is required to make two separate payments.
The first payment, the order fee, includes the item price with tax, the Japanese domestic shipping fee, and the purchase agency fee.
The second payment is for the international delivery fee. This is the shipping fee from the WorldShopping warehouse which stores your order to your country, along with handling and insurance fees.
In addition to the amount paid to WorldShopping, there is a possibility that customs duties or import fees may be charged when the item arrives at the customer's residence. In these situations, payment is made to local customs or the delivery company.
To clarify:

==================================================

Regarding DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) for U.S. Shipments:
When selecting DDP: You will pay the International Shipping Fee and the prepaid customs duties together during the second payment.
Customs Duties Calculation: Calculated based on an estimated rate that includes customs-related fees. Please note that state taxes may be charged separately.
As a result, no additional payment is generally required when you receive your items.
