Due to the escalation of the tariff situation, U.S. customers must be aware of the following: Here are the estimates of tariff & fees for U.S. customers.
(Product total price + shipping) x 0.15 + 15 (UPS Brokerage Fee)
* 15% tariff regardless of price (the exact value may vary)
* $15 Government / UPS brokerage fee (the exact value may vary)
example) (138+35) x 0.15 + 15
total fee = $40.95 (tariff + brokerage fee)
-------------------------------------------------------
WARNING!!!
You must not return the package because of not willing to pay for the tariff and brokerage fee.
For the seller to receive the package back (valued $138+35), UPS asks for:
"Return shipping($35) + Tariff + government fee($40+)"
So, if you don't pay for the tariff + fee ($40+), and send the package back, the seller will have to pay $75+ to receive it back.
Because of this substantial loss, a refund for the order is not possible when you return the package (refusing to pay for the "tariff + brokerage fee").
(a real example of what happend)
1) a U.S. customer purchased a product ($138 + 35).
2) The customer was notified by the UPS to pay for the tariff and fee ($35~40).
3) The customer didn't want to pay for the tariff + fee, and asked the UPS to return the package.
4) The UPS asked the seller to pay $100, or not receive the package.
5) Return of the package rejected.
Please take a look at the example below (a different case)
(UPS asking the seller to pay for "Return handling charges + government fee")
