Are you fluent in Japanese? If not you’re going to have a bad time. And as someone else mentioned, the store is locked to Japan’s PS store which man’ means you may but be able to get non JP language games. It also means payment methods might get rejected depending on their regional support. Not to mention I’m not sure if the store will even load from a non JP IP address considering how much they’ve tried to lock down the rest of it.

So no, it’s not a good idea.

What the other guy said - you'll likely get a notification that your import is being held in a bonded warehouse by customs enforcement until you pay the duties and tariffs.

It’s going to be Japan region locked bud. I wouldn’t bother with this to save some money. It’s going to cause you significantly more headaches than it’s worth.

You shouldn't buy a PS5 period tbh

Maybe if you use the saved money on some really good Japanese lessons 😄

Short answer. You will not be exempt for duties (Taxes, state taxes, sales etc) that reach the allowed threshold for your country.

Or they could be if you are allowed to import at or below 450$. Depends on your state and the threshold at which it kicks in.

Or the seller can incur all those charges and pay it before hand for you. (Highly unlikely)
