PROBLEM t- it appears the us now wants the senders country to pay the tarifs , which are purely s purchase tax tobe paid by the buyer! enoy trumpton before you are deported! Previous Message
Hello Ralf,
You're correct, it is the work of Customs (US, French, German, etc...) to collect tafiffs imposed by their respective countries and pay to their governments. Not the job of senders.
Also will they be sure to receive the full money collected from tariffs? Another debate in perspective...

What I do not understand at the moment: Wouldn't it be the duty of US Customs to collect the tariffs? Neither the seller nor the shipping company has anything to do with tariffs imposed on goods when they enter the United States. There is no change from the situation we had before, only the numbers have changed. Over here in Germany when I receive a parcel and there is a tariff on the merchandice it will be processed by Customs and I have to pay for it when I want it.

Hello everyone,
I've just got back from holiday, and I'm looking forward to starting work again on Monday.
However, I've received some bad news from La Poste: they're suspending shipments to the United States with effect from Monday. They have given two reasons for this: the removal of the 'de minimis' tax threshold and a lack of information from US customs. This means that all shipments could be refused by US customs and returned to their point of origin.
This is the only information I have for now. I will therefore have to put US orders placed during my absence on hold and prevent US customers from ordering via the website. This is a very difficult situation for small businesses around the world. Let's hope the problem is resolved soon. More information to follow.
Meow,
Ben
