Taxes, tariffs, and duties

[huskydriver]

Has anybody ordered and recieved your frame recently?  I was just wondering with all the tariffs or import taxes have caused any issues.  I bought a couple frames a fewyears ago and had no issues and dont recall paying a dime.  It worries me now seeing things written on the website about buyer being responsible.  It seems as if there is more mention of it then ever before.  Im ordering a frame from Trident Thrust.  The last frames were from Deng Fu.  Thanks.

It really depends on where you are located. And this is an international site. In my case, the Philippines here in Asia, I only pay PhP130 or around US$2.50. That is for a single unit.

I've read here that in some location, painted and unpainted units have different tariff.

So far, every carbon parts I odered from China were duty free and this includes 2 frames and many rims. I live in Canada.

I had to pay £20 in the UK, however they wanted to pay me about £50 more, but the item was delivered before they asked for it, so too late for HMRC.

Thanks for the input.  I just need somebody from the US to give their input.  I know Pres. Trump has put tariffs on raw materials, so hopefully this does not effect any goods coming into the country.

I haven't ordered since the tarrifs have been applied. I'm curious as well.

I've also noticed, and this may just be me, that Aliexpress has changed their menu system around a bit. I can no longer search for carbon as a material under handlebars. Also, when I sort by number of orders, all of the order numbers seem lower than before.

For example, I used to search for all sorts of carbon handlebars...lots of dealers listed, lots of orders from certain vendors...now seems like either they've "reset" or changed somehow.

US is duty free if less than $800 per shipment going to private individuals.

sorry for the late reply, but yes you are correct.  thanks, i recieved mine and didn't have to pay anything extra.  i just had to go to the post office to pick up as it needed a signature.
