Japan-only Pompompurin merch — how to buy it from overseas
Pompompurin's Japanese merchandise skews toward collector items — anniversary ranges, commemorative coins, magazine mooks with plush appendices and cafe collabs. Several of these are sold through Japanese channels that never ship abroad, including mail-order and magazine distribution.
Of the 56 drops we have logged: 3 are on Sanrio's Direct-from-Japan store, which delivers to 6 countries only (so most readers still need a proxy); 31 are online but Japan-only, so they need a proxy; 6 are sold in Japanese shops; 16 are events or in-person only. 3 of them are arcade prizes, which are never sold at retail.
We check the official Japanese sources six times a day, so this page reflects what is on sale right now — not an old round-up.

What it costs, roughly
Two things sit on top of the item price: the service fee and international shipping. As of September 3, 2026:
- Proxy service fee — ¥500 per order at Buyee, ¥300 per item at ZenMarket, or from 9.9% down to 1.2% with a $5 minimum at Japan Rabbit.
- Shipping by EMS — about ¥4,400 for 1 kg to Europe, Canada or Australia and ¥5,300 to the United States.
- Duties — the US $800 duty-free allowance is suspended, so US parcels are dutiable at any value. EU parcels under €150 carry a flat €3 duty from July 1, 2026. The UK threshold is £135.
Pompompurin FAQ
What is a mook, and can I order one from abroad?
A mook is a Japanese magazine-book sold with a physical extra, often a plush or bag. They are distributed through Japanese bookshops and online retailers, so a proxy or forwarding address is normally required.
How do I buy Japanese anniversary and commemorative items?
Many are sold by mail-order companies or Japan Post's online shop rather than Sanrio itself. Those accept Japanese addresses only, which makes a forwarding service or buy-for-me proxy the practical route.
Is Pompompurin merch easier to get than Hello Kitty merch?
Broadly yes for standard goods, since demand is lower. Anniversary and limited collector items are the exception and can sell out on the day.
