Knowledge base · Buying

Where can you buy Japanese Pokémon booster boxes in the Netherlands and Belgium?

Short answer

From Dutch and Belgian web shops that import themselves, local card shops, Cardmarket, or directly from Japan. From Japan you pay VAT and import costs; from an EU shop you don't. Kaikan Cards ships from Beugen (NL), free from €90 in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Japanese boxes are rarely found in the big toy stores. Broadly, you have five routes, each with pros and cons.

The options

  • An EU web shop that imports itself: prices in euros including VAT, no customs, EU consumer law with a 14-day cooling-off period. Usually more expensive than the Japanese shelf price.
  • A local card shop: you see the box before you buy. The range of Japanese sets varies per shop.
  • Cardmarket: the largest European marketplace, with many sellers. Pick sellers with lots of ratings and ask whether the box is factory sealed.
  • Directly from Japan: sometimes cheaper per box, but on delivery you pay VAT, import duty and clearance fees. See import duty on cards from Japan.
  • Marktplaats or Vinted: can be cheap, but this is where the risk of a resealed box is highest.

What to look for

  • Tight factory shrink wrap and a JAN barcode that matches the set
  • Company details and a Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number on the site
  • The total price including shipping
