A tax-free price is not reduced again; an unknown basis stays pending.
The 1.5% default is an assumption; cash can be 0. If the rate already includes this fee, do not add it twice.
Default assumption 0; add any shipping, luggage or inbound tax you must pay.

- A Google search verified that "Sake Lees Fermented Brightening Cleansing Oil" is the official Taiwan name for shu uemura Taiwan's official site's (shuuemura.com.tw) "Bright Cleansing Oil," launched simultaneously in early 2026 (released in Japan on 2026/02/06, featuring a high-water-retention cleansing mechanism built on fermented beauty ingredients such as sake lees fermentation/bifidobacteria); the formula's emphasis on "fermentation" + "brightening" matches the meaning of the original Japanese name "Bright." The Japan listing's ¥5,720 corresponds to the price range of the Japan Rakuten/official-site 150mL version, and Taiwan is likewise the 150mL spec. Root re-verification: momo shu uemura official store product page re-check: Sake Lees Fermented Brightening Cleansing Oil 150mL, NT$769. @cosme's official price list is 150mL ¥5,720 / 450mL ¥13,200; the Japan listing's ¥5,720 is exactly the 150mL, so the volumes match on both sides.
