## Important notes

Japan and Hong Kong use JAN 4987241168583. The US exact-size match is proved by Teso Life SKU 400000225180. Taiwan is a licensed regional formula made in Taiwan. The regular Melano CC essence is a different product.

Japan tax-free eligibility, actual local sales tax, daily FX, shipping, card fees, warranty, and import charges can change the final cost.
