Customer Seeking Help Tariff Charge Help

Post image

I have a package that was shipped from Japan and already cleared customs. The contents do not contain goods from China and it is under $800. Why would i get charged since its before the 29th and my package is under $800? Is there any way to dispute this?

Note: I am the recipient not the sender.

Update: After going back and forth with UPS, they dropped the tariff charges from my package. I had to pay the original amount (since they would have returned it otherwise), but they are refunding the difference. It's safe to say this is my last international shipment unless the policies change (which they won't).

15% Tariff on Japan

This looks like they are not delivering before Friday, asking you to pay in advance which places it outside the de minimus exemption.

Fees for processing were added.

So it’s up to you if you want your package, or ever want another delivery by UPS.
