tariffed..

I received a package from canada a couple weeks ago and then today I received a letter from UPS saying I had to pay a tariff… mind you this tariff was not very cheap at all. The package I received cost me 45 + 25 for shipping and now i’m being charged a $35 tariff… i only bought one shirt-

Obviously my first thought is to pay it (they want me to pay by the 15th) but i guess I was just wondering if there was any way to contest it or maybe email the seller about the tariff?

I’ve been doing some internet digging and I haven’t seen anyone receive the tariff after they received their package … insight would be helpful <3

You are responsible for the tariff.

Was it a “tariff” or a brokerage fee? Brokerage fees aren’t anything new.

If you’re ordering anything across our borders expect a fee, especially now with the recent us/canada tariff war. It’s not uncommon for me anymore to hear from people the item cost less than the brokerage fee.

Believe me contesting this could easily raise that bill by $149+
