I have a buyer from Nevada that made a purchase of a US made item. I shipped the item from Canada and it appears that they're being charged import tax. According to the buyer they shouldn't be charged an import tax due to EAR-99. I'm not a tax expert on what taxes should be paid. Does anyone have any insight? I'm sure CBP is applying appropriate taxes.

I know they tend to be higher than most other couriers for that and it's based on the customs value. Item value was $2K+. To the best of my knowledge UPS is the only US courier that charges brokerage fees but in this case the item was over $2K and depending on what it was there may actually be custom/import fees due on the package...
