Tariffs on items coming in from Japan

For those of you in the US ordering through proxy sites like buyee for Mercari etc. Are you getting charged tariffs and if so at what %? Thanks

So far yes with FedEx, no with EMS.

Of course this could just be my experience and/or the laws might not have been in effect when I shipped, but I’ve heard similar results from other members.

Thanks Scott. I’m assuming you got hit at 10% from FedEx which I believe is the current rate and possibly soon to be 24%.

Just received a package today through EMS. No tariff.

Have been afraid to order from JP, but might… Partly just don’t want to deal RN. Cant deal RN… Might try, to test it.

I think it’s possible to get hit with a tariff after the item is delivered? Are you guys getting them immediately?

I usually get a letter from FedEx about a month after delivery with a $0.00 bill, but my last package from Buyee might prove to be different

Yes this frequently happens with customs fres in Canada
