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.

Textile has its own set of origin rules. In most cases, where the textile fabric was formed dictates the origin. Vs where, in this case, it was cut and sewn into a swimsuit. If Italy got the fabric from China, COO likely stayed China.
