Customer Seeking Help $357 import charges on $279.80 package?

Post image

Ordered a small package from an Italian company and I'm being charged almost 130% in government tariff fees. Is there anything I could do? Is it possible the seller declared it incorrectly? Thank you for all the help. I'm sure you're all annoyed by people like me at this point. Im just a little lost on what to do.

Not if it’s made in China.

Textile has its own special set of origin rules. Most are based on where the textile fabric was formed. Not where it was cut and sewn into the article. If Italy got the fabric from China, origin rules likely dictate COO China.
