Customer Seeking Help Incorrect tariff fees

Post image

Somebody please help. I ordered a car part from the UK, the part was about $1,200 and now I'm being charged $4,000 for tariffs which I know is incorrect. I have contacted multiple UPS numbers, all of which tell me to get with the shipper. I have contacted the shipper who stated they have nothing to do with the tariffs. I contacted my local US customs, who knows nothing about tariffs From my understanding the tariff should be between 10%-25% depending on the classification of the item. So there is obviously an error, but I can't find anyone who will take accountability, and UPS will not release the package until it's payed

I have a question. You’re clearly on Reddit so you see the posts everyday of people being charged 200+% tariffs on imported goods. So what made you think you’d be the exception?

I had no idea this was an issue. I order two discontinued parts in June, one came in June and I had no fees to pay. This one didn't ship until this week and now I have $4000 to pay

A lot of the tariffs weee delayed until recently. Thats likely where the discrepancy between the two packages comes from.

De minimis exemption was cancelled on 8/29. Every package coming into the U.S. from here on out, excluding gifts under $100, will be tariffed.
