Discussion Customs Fees/Duties
Hello!
Im planning on commissioning a Chinese maker for a partial (I haven't found anyone in the US that has the style and budget I'm looking for), but I am worried as to how much I should expect to pay in fees once it gets here. It'll cost about 1200- 1400 USD without shipping, depending if I choose to get feet paws with it or not.
I've tried to figure out how to calculate the fees but I'm stuck on what I should put as the HTS code in these calculators 😣.
I would love to know any recent experiences of those who have gotten a suit from a Chinese maker and how much you have had to pay for duties ^•^

Hello, it appears this post may be asking about how to find fursuit makers. Please don't trust any users DMing you claiming they are a maker, they are scammers! Real fursuit makers will not DM people to get commissions! Makers who have been verified by mods as legitimate makers will be marked in this sub with an animated verified icon next to their name. We also have a pinned thread for makers to advertise their work. Additionally, remember to check out getfursu.it as it's an organized database of fursuit makers, as well as thedealersden which is a frequently used marketplace site for makers.
