Update (October 2026): Japan Post is accepting EMS to the Gulf countries again, and EMS is once more available at checkout for the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Flights to the region are still reduced, so deliveries may take longer than usual, and Japan Post may return a parcel if the route is disrupted. The notice below is from May 25, 2026.
Dear ApparelX Global members,
Due to the current situation involving Iran and the Middle East, EMS Japan shipping services have been temporarily suspended for all Middle Eastern countries.
In addition, rising oil prices have significantly increased DHL shipping costs. To better support our customers, we are currently implementing FedEx economy shipping for smaller size parcels. If you would like to ship your order to the Middle East via FedEx, please feel free to contact us for assistance.
Best regards,
ApparelX
