But back to my original question. On the $1000, what would I get charged? And it would come via FedEx. Previously, the only time I have ever been charged duties, prior to this tariff thing, was through DHL coming from Europe. I got hit for something on a $600 Cinellli frame and on a $250 wheelset. I don't remember the exact amount as it it was over a decade ago. So I have avoided DHL since.
wanting a definitive answer is reasonable. we are not in reasonable times.
the big international shippers will not risk, add in their customs brokerage fees and costs go wild. the below "$800" loophole is dead for now. the current admin is pushing for the foreign postal services to collect the USA tariffs. hence why so many have suspended shipping to the USA. It might rationalize in the future, might.
tariffs on Swiss watches to the USA right now? 39%.
a recent Mazda car advert comes to mind, current inventory not subject to additional tariffs.
