Hello,
I am curious if anyone knows what exact fees can be expected for USA buyers now
when it comes to buying internationally. I haven’t been able to find any concrete
numbers online, so I am hoping that someone here knows what costs can be expected
for international packages.

Hi Ethan - that depends from where you're buying, and what's the origin
of the Parts or Sets (some may be manufactured in China, more duties)...

Much more, I don't see right now any way to invoice manually or not a buyer
and have both exact Sales tax and Import duties. This is baffling.

Apart if someone has an idea I don't have of course. And those who don't
care, sure.

These numbers make a good start. But your best bet is to ask the seller. My store,
for instance, is in Canada, so the chart would imply that the tariffs would be
35%. But the vast majority of my parts are manufactured in Mexico, so the rate
is actually 25%. (But ... there is also a processing fee for paying the tariff!)

In any case, I've set it up to work through auto-checkout, so you can see
the final cost including tariffs before completing the purchase.

It does mean that prices for US buyers are higher than for anyone else in the
world, but it is what it is.
