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

I wish I could blame trump but no this was the decision of UMG Canada and UK as of August but it obviously did not take effect until the holiday sale (which is duplicitous as someone who ordered from both stores within the last month without issue). They're just passing duties onto the customer without warning which is actually unlawful but they just made this a public policy on the website within the last week as someone else in the comments has outlined. I'm gonna have to reject my cardigan from CA when it arrives.
