    $280 of duty fees?? really?

    Turns out they categorize it with the wrong tariff code which is 17 something percent. Thanks for @austinalamualaykum For providing all the information. Now UPS is charging me 114.26 + 11 brokerage fees.

    Regarding import duties to USA for the foil 3A-3TS release...

    caveat: I'm by no means an expert on this kind of stuff and only used the valuable info previously provided by @CARLOOA and @Voyager to corroborate my own Google-ing. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

    • My order was placed on the evening of the 15th. 
    • Didn't receive a shipment conf email from Acronym, but woke up today to an email from UPS informing me that $59.64 in duties are owed + the $11.00 brokerage fee UPS pockets (for fronting the duties on our behalf). A total of $70.64. 
    • Phoned UPS and was told that the tariff code associated with the package is 4202.22.30.40 ; this code corresponds to a 7.4% duty rate. 
    • Upon referring the code to the HTS cheat sheet (chp.42), I'd say that Acronym already provided UPS the most specific code (70% PA -nylon 30% PES -polyester) aka "man-made fibers."
    • With the most specific code already being assigned to the package, there's no chance that the duty percentage can be further lowered. 

    tldr: Pay up ; the 7.4% duty rate is as low as it's going to get for these 3A foil bags.

    Mine ended up 280....... thanks for the infomation. Will have to deal with ups.
