Comment on US to end shipping loophole for Chinese goods Friday
Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoIf you’re trying to do this as an American, it won’t help you. Buying directly from a Chinese firm won’t avoid the tariffs, it’ll just make you responsible for handling them. The shipment will either get held at the port until you pay, or you’ll get a bill later. Probably with some inspection fees added on top if you didn’t pre-declare.
Your best option is to ship to a friend in the UK or some other place with 10% tariffs, then have them repack the shipment and send it to you.
I am in Europe, thats why im asking for an EU based import company who handles the vat and provides me with a basic tracking system
My problem with freight forwarding is that I have to pay a lot of money to have it sent insured, since I can’t just dispute my credit card charge if the Package dosent come, since the company officially delivered it to my address.

In addition to ordering directly from china not avoiding the tariffs: it may not even be possible. Some (smaller) companies simply won’t ship to USA anymore due to the hassle of having to deal with the admin.
