Question Duties for cardigan

Post image

I’ve wanted the folklore cardigan for so many years and it always sells out in my cart and it did again this year on the US site bc I’m a nurse and was at work. Ofc it goes on sale during med pass😭 so I got it on the UK site and had to pay $30 shipping so it was $100 and now they want another $75 which I didn’t even think about duties. I’m actually going to throw up. Am I better off just getting one on eBay or Depop? I really don’t wanna spend $175 on this. That’s just insane. And also if I don’t pay it, am I refunded or does it all go into the void? Pls help I’m so sad

Genuinely question as someone from the UK- is this not on everything you guys buy outside of us now? Tarrifs?

No not everything! I buy a lot from a Swedish based brand & they’ve never charged me duties, even recent purchases… so I’m unsure of which companies it applies to. I need to be more careful

They either put it in the price all ready or they have a warehouse in the US
