Have you considered setting up a distributor/forwarder in the US? The only relatively fast services I know of operating from Japan to the US right now (DHL + FedEx Priority Intl) are expensive for sure, but the prices become more economically feasible at larger parcel sizes and weights. Shipping one large batch to the US and then splitting packages there might be an option. (Japan Post Seamail is also an option (as the only available offering right now from JP), but currently takes 2-3 months to arrive).

I import a good number of items from Japan as a small business. Happy to chat more about the little context I have about both JP->US shipping and US domestic.
