A few days ago I bought a used R13 off eBay from a seller in Japan for $850.
The seller promptly shipped it by DHL.
Yesterday, I received an e-mail from DHL stating that I need to pay $142 before they deliver the clarinet. I contacted their CS via chat and was told that the customs duty fee was $121, and the processing fee was $17, plus another miscellaneous fee. The agent said I could dispute the fees over the phone or via e-mail.
I then used an online duty estimator tool (https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/) and got $144 customs duty fee on a $850 clarinet from Japan.
New 30% tariffs will be in effect on European imports starting Aug. 1st...
