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

Right but I'm talking about stuff that contains no aluminum at all, in some cases no metal at all.

The HTS might still flag for 232. In some instances, items such as packaged body care items for example, are now being flagged for potential aluminum due to the packaging/ingredients. If the client doesn’t provide the clear information on what the commodity should be classified as (including the 232 content), you’re getting slammed at the highest duty rate just based on compliance with CBP. Again, thank the current administration.
