Reading further it probably may not be as easy and straight forward as that. I now see you come under 'small package' and how that tariff is paid to US Customs would then not be easy. Sorry to cloud matters.

Hi David, as far as I can tell the US tariff rate for goods imported from the Philippines is 19% -reduced from 20% - which would mean one of your kits of HMS Warrior/Black Prince would rise from $85 (inc ship) to $101.15.
Considering the quality of your product still very affordable and worth it. Previous Message
So if I'm understanding this correctly, the minimum tariff charge is $200.
I doubt many modelers are going to pay an extra $200 for a kit.
I'm in Philippines, and the majority of sales were to the USA, so I guess I won't be selling many kits in the near future.
If i got this wrong please set me straight.
Thanks, David at Loose Cannon East.
