Just across the tickers.

I usually sell cheaper than that, but the world has just gotten bigger again once more.

I ordered a jacket from Canada that was 850 ish.

My tariff charge was almost 50 percent by the time the broker fees were added.

That hurt.

Outrageous. I wish more people complained and removed politicians allowing this tax grab.

it definitely makes you think twice whether to buy out of the country, which is very unfortunate.

Hi. You purchased a jacket from a Canadian business. The purchase price and “declared value” of the jacket entered on the shipping form was $850, so you ended up paying approximately $1200 due to imposed tariffs?

​

$799, (less than the De Minimis for Canada’s country-specific tariff threshold) you would have still paid a tax, but tariff would have been zero?

Yes, and it’s important to keep track of the De Minimis (minimum tariff threshold) for each country.

The jacket was $1,026 with taxes and shipping. Then I got charged an additional $376.05 in tariffs and fees.

850 jacket cost me just over 1400 in my hand.

How awful, I am sorry that you have experienced this! Now I’m wondering what happens with Ebay auctions where the seller is shipping from China. If buyer is shown the real cost including the 57% tariffs specific to China plus the 10% tax plus shipping when making the purchase? … or if the buyer has an option to rescind the deal before it is shipped?

There was no mention from eBay or the seller regarding the beating I was going to take.

UPS messaged me of the additional charges AFTER the jacket cleared customs. Pay it. Or you don’t get your purchase.

I don’t even have it yet. What if the jacket is trash? How do you send it back?
