This has been hard to stomach for a lot of US customers and has impacted our business for sure.
Although this must seem like a huge shock to you guys, I would like to point out that we (the UK) have ALWAYS paid additional UK VAT and duty on goods coming from US which amounts to 25%.
We are seeing an uptick in sales to Mexico at the moment...

^Matt Monson is 100% correct. We, nor the carrier, know the fee because it is set by US Customs when it enters the US. We are also not allowed (by law) to discuss the shipment with US Customs as they will only discuss them with the customer. We can, however, assist customers answering some of US Customs questions, if you get asked.

Jonny thank you for chiming in, after reading the CBP link in your email I was completely lost. I started this thread just to see if anyone had ordered a unit from you and what it actually cost landed here, "the impact of the tariffs" and timeline.
