International ePacket Light replaced by International AIR Packet


As of June 1, 2026, Japan Post is changing the shipping method [International ePacket Light] 'ePacket' to [International AIR Packet] 'AIR Packet'.

ePacket is a tracked airmail service for parcels under 2kg and up to 90cm (W+D+H). It was undoubtedly the cheapest way to ship internationally from Japan.

However, only 138 countries were supported under ePacket.

With the change to AIRPacket, the country restrictions are now gone. AIRPacket is available to all countries (except those where Japan Post has suspended service).

There are no changes to the service details other than the expansion of destination countries.
