Your Impex ordering experience?

[gregdawg89]

On top of Impex recalculating costs for my item, now it's 15 US dollars extra, and now DHL wants 37 bucks for an Import Duty Fee. I ordered a Charcoal Canister thinking it was cheaper via Impex, when I should've just gotten it locally in the US. (NOTE: It's a Charcoal Canister for a Camry that can be retrofitted for a 100 series with some slight modification.)

I'm going to take a long pause before ordering from Impex again.

Additional NOTE: I placed the order in Jan 2026.

Note that those extra costs aren't Impex's fault.

Sorry for reposting a question that I asked on another thread--I'd like to ask around a little more.

My 2003 LX470 needs a new set of AHC globes, and I heard of Impex-jp.com. But when I was about to place the order, they stated that they couldn't ship gas filled shock absorbers (a screenshot below). It seems that I can still place the order, but I'm afraid that I will lose my money if they cannot ship the globes and don't let me cancel the order. I saw many of us successfully got the globes delivered to their door, so I'm wondering if this is something new with impex-jp? I appreciate any experience/insights from the community.

I ordered new OEM AHC globes from Impex and they were no problem with shipping or Customs.

It may not be, but it's all wrapped under the experience from ordering from Impex vs a domestic purchase.

My recent experience with Impex was great. Be patient as it will take just about a month to arrive, but when I paid 25% (including shipping and tariffs) for OEM accumulators what the cost from the cheapest US option was it was a no brainer.
It only took 10 minutes to place the order...
Watch your email for updates to approve shipping and from DHL to pay tariff.
