- Same-item basis
- In the 2026-09-12 pass, we only searched the Taiwan official site by the Japan item no. 481582; a 0-result search was logged as not found in Taiwan. This pass re-checked, and the Taiwan official site's product-detail interface returned a product page for the same item no. 481582 (productCode u0000000053461). The Taiwan page's item no. is 481582, and the colour swatch is labeled directly "481582 / 08 DARK GRAY," matching the Japan verified colour in both code and name. The page notes that item nos. 476081/478680 are listed alongside it due to differing production lots, with the material field broken out by lot. The same style also has a separate page selling only a promotional lot of 11 PINK (u0000000054592, NT$390 / list price NT$590); the Japan verified colour is not on that page, so this site uses the regular-price page where the Japan verified colour appears. The Taiwan page lists the material as 98% cotton / 2% spandex, versus 97% cotton / 3% polyurethane on the Japan page — a lot-to-lot difference. US price 2026-09-18: US details API E481582-000 Stretch Easy Shorts | 8" base $39.9 tax EXCLUSIVE US price ratio re-check 2026-09-19: US details API returns E481582-000 Stretch Easy Shorts | 8" at base $39.90, promo null, no priceFlags; JP checked colour 08 DARK GRAY is among the three US colours; composition 97% Cotton, 3% Spandex matches the JP record; 150 units in stock; same item and same packaging, so the price gap comes from the two markets' own pricing.
