Hey guys. This was just asked of me, and I honestly don't know. I was asked of a good place to get imported foods online (cheeses, specifically). I've never done this myself...so I have no idea. ^^ All I know is that let's say I asked someone to send foods of that nature from back home, it wouldn't get past immigration here. So...what do you recommend?

Sorry if this seems like a foolish question, but I felt it'd be best to ask it here.

I've not used either, but as far as I know these are the 2 main companies

Foreign Buyers Club - which imports from the USA

and

The Flying Pig - which resells Costco stuff

Amazon and Rakuten also have a surprising amount of imports. If going directly to a Costco is an option, they are also pretty good.

Cheeses? As in cheeses to import to Japan? ^^ I don't think Rakuten would benefit very well in that regard.

I will look at the other sites mentioned. I'll try Costco first, though. Thanks for the suggestions guys. If anyone have any others, please feel free to share them.

I got some imported gouda from this place. Amazing.
