Japan Post Restricting Shipments to the USA
There has been quite a bit of talk regarding this on the net here in Japan and many are severely panicking about this. However, if you really look at the notice from the Japan post, it states that parcels that are weighed by a scale and paid for at the post office, you should be able to ship your product normally. I will definitely be checking on this myself at the post office because if this affects my shipments to the USA this Christmas season, then it will truly SUCK.
UPDATE: I just went to the Akihabara post office and asked them about this notice. I have confirmed that individuals WILL NOT be able to send a parcel over 16oz. from Japan to the United States. However, those companies with a commercial account for more than one month will be able to send their parcels normally.
This basically means we are all SCREWED for Christmas.
Here is a link to the notice in the original Japanese:
米国等あて航空運送する郵便物の一部の引受停止について
Here is my translation of the post:
Regarding the suspension of some shipments to the USA
The President and Director of the Japan Post Corporation, Shinichi Nabekura has announced that due to the threat of recent terrorist attacks and reinforcement of aviation security in the United States, we will be ceasing any air shipments weighing over 453g (16oz) for an indefinite period of time beginning November 17, 2010. Once this threat has passed, we will announce the resumption of these shipments.
Shipments Affected by this Suspension:
| Country | Type of Parcel | Parcel Weight | Payment Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| The United States and it's territories (Guam, Saipan, Northern Marianas, Midway, Puerto Rico, Samoa, & the Virgin Islands) | Includes the following
| Over 453g (16oz) | In principle, separate payment for shipment or parcels not weighed & calculated postage (paid with stamps, etc.) |
Other:
Any parcels that are under 453g (16oz) will be accepted and sent as usual.

Love this quote
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. It was the experience of mystery—even if mixed with fear—that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our reason in their most elementary forms—it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. Enough for me the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvellous structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavour to comprehend a portion, be it never so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature.
