Prohibited or restricted goods when buying and shipping from Japan
How to handle items that risk being refused for purchase, bidding, receipt, or shipping.
Updated 29/09/2026
Suzuki has the right to refuse proxy buying, proxy bidding, receiving package forwarding items, or shipping goods to Vietnam if the item is prohibited, restricted, or high-risk under Japanese law, Vietnamese law, marketplace regulations, and carrier regulations.
Some common examples include weapons and weapon-like items, and flammable or explosive goods. Batteries and liquids may be limited in shipping method. For items with signs of risk, Suzuki may hold them for inspection before purchase, bidding, receipt, or shipping.
Before placing a purchase or bid
- 1
Check the item information
Carefully read the description, photos, condition, and delivery terms posted by the seller. The item information is published by the seller; Suzuki does not inspect goods before purchase.

Contact us when you are unsure
If the item contains batteries, liquids, flammable or explosive forms, sharp objects, weapon replicas, or special delivery conditions, you should send a chat message and the link so Suzuki can check whether it can be processed.

Wait for the result if the item is held for inspection
Some items may be held for staff to inspect before placing a purchase or bid. If refused before purchase, the money is refunded to your Balance.
When bidding on Yahoo! Auctions
For Yahoo! Auctions, some items require inspection before placing a bid, for example if the seller only delivers in person, does not ship, or the item belongs to a restricted group. In that case, you will see the notice "restricted product, please wait for the system to check".
If the item is approved, the system will place the bid according to your action. If it is not approved, the system will not place the bid. The inspection result depends on each item, the delivery conditions, and the risk at the time of processing.

Goods are only considered received when Suzuki confirms warehouse entry. If the package shows signs of being prohibited or restricted, Suzuki will notify you for handling on a case-by-case basis.
