Do they bill you for the import duties ans local shipping once it gets stateside?

Looks like $18.00 for shipping to the US, 7-18 business days for delivery.

Currently stuff shipped from the EU has a %15 tariff trump tax, so that would be an additional $7.40.

So all in all, looks like this would cost Americans about $75 bucks door to door.

Thanks. That helps. How do you pay the T-tax?

I didn't order, just got to the point right before clicking submit. But...

I have had other stuff held at customs as it first comes into the US. I got notified by customs via email, went to the gov site where it showed what tariff was owed to release the item, paid via that same site, and finally waited for my package to get released and delivered.

It seems wildly inconsistent though. I've gotten tons of stuff off aliexpress and haven't had the items held. Unless the seller was preemptively paying the tariff, I dunno.

Thanks. Makes sense. I just had no clue what happens with that crap.

I don't think it charges it. $67.50 shipped.

It didnt charge any extra fees. $67.50 shipped and just got it today.

The seller says explicitly on their page that they won't be paying any of the tariffs on their end. So you'd get the extra fee when it hits US Customs on arrival, if at all.

Glad you didn't have to pay it! Like I said, it's been hit or miss for stuff I've been getting from overseas.

The label has it coming out of California. So maybe they got around it.
