I had an order under that threshold (~$120) and was hit with >30% duties. I'm pretty sure it was close to 50%. I didn't even think it was possible to go >30%. I still don't -- I think *********** up declaring the value.


You may also have duty to pay on the SHIPPING costs. I got stung with that on an order into the UK from America; maybe your taxes and duties work the same?

also, im pretty sure you dont have to pay customs fees on made in USA clothes if you live in the USA

I got hit for around $60 on a Filson/Cabourn jacket last year that was clearly tagged as MiUSA. I contacted End about it (they had marked it as being Made in UK) and they said it was an error on their part, and to make up for it they gave me $10 in store credit.

don't pay duties up front? unless they mislabel them when they ship to you, I would think you'll be ok
Yes, they are transparent about charging duties when you pay for the item. But they don't take them off if it's a US-made item being shipped to the US.
