Import fees on buying item from Germany to US
I am in USA. i want to buy a few solid state drives from German seller. Ebay listing tells " import fees to the shipping carrier prior to delivery. " The total is around $1000. By the way, can buy less qty if total amount is an issue. The main question is how much these import fees and how it depends on carrier? i knwo that ups, Fedex and dHL charge brokerage fee. Postal service earlier didn't have this fee. Biut waht is about other fees I am facing?

Mentor4 months agoImport fees for items from Germany to the US typically include customs duties, taxes, and processing fees, with a $800 de minimis threshold for duty-free entry on most shipments. Items over $800, or specific goods, incur duties based on HS codes (often 2.5%–6%), plus potential courier brokerage fees ($5–$30).
The above came from Google. I believe the $800 de minimis threshold no longer applies.
