DHL shipments to the US are temporarily restricted.
DHL has informed us that starting today, April 21, they will temporarily suspend the acceptance of B2C shipments to the US that exceed 800 USD.

The coil spring factory is operating almost back to normal.

However, since factory operations have not yet returned to 100%, there is a possibility that future supplies will be affected slightly. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
