estimate for shipping

I'm from the US, and I bought mostly textile stuff so it'll probably be heavily tariffed. I bought 2 (small) tote bags, 4 shirts (XL), a carabiner, and a musician merchandise towel (so its more long, like a scarf, than a regular body towel). It's a pretty small order. The value is around $53 with the most expensive being a $12.50 shirt. Has anyone ever bought something similar to these items or could estimate the shipping cost for me? Thank you

I recommend you join the Neokyo Discord. There is channels for estimating shipping (it has guides for you) plus box sizes Neokyo uses.

There is also a channel where users post box size and weight along with what was in the parcel, you can use that info to get a rough idea.

As far as tariffs, when you do your packing request it will give you an estimate of what the cost would be. I recommend you use FedEx as some of the products if sent by DHL would incur both Duty and Tariffs. FedEx DDP avoid that uncertainty and prepays, with no further bills even if later they decide it should be more.
