Tax Estimate

There is no single answer — it depends on product category and country of origin. For a USD 100 item of Chinese origin: in addition to the base HTS duty, a Section 122 temporary surcharge of 10% (approx. USD 10) applies, and Chinese-origin goods may also be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Example: a USD 100 cotton T-shirt (made in China) may face ~16.5% HTS base, 10% §122, and 7.5% §301 — roughly USD 34 total. A USD 100 book may be close to duty-free. Actual amounts are determined by CBP at clearance; use our duty estimator for a ballpark figure.

Yes. Previously, shipments under USD 800 could qualify for de minimis duty-free treatment, but this ended for China/Hong Kong on 2025/05/02 and was extended to all countries on 2025/08/29. In other words, even a USD 50 parcel to the USA may now incur duties — low value alone no longer guarantees exemption. The actual amount depends on the goods and clearance outcome.

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): the sender prepays duties and customs fees so the recipient pays nothing extra — similar to a tax-inclusive shipping plan. DDU / DAP (duties unpaid): the recipient pays duties at clearance; shipping cost is lower but the recipient may receive a duty bill. Fuuffy's tax-inclusive shipping plans help you prepay major duty costs upfront, reducing the risk of surprise charges for recipients. Contact customer service for details and eligibility.

Uncertain for now. The U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) ruled Section 122 unlawful on 2026/05/07, but relief applied only to the plaintiffs and an appeals court stayed enforcement pending appeal — CBP continues to collect. Whether and how previously paid duties would be refunded depends on the final appeal outcome and subsequent administrative action; no guarantee at this stage. Budget as if duties still apply and watch for policy updates.

No. Under-declaring value to customs is misrepresentation and illegal. Under- or false declaration may result in fines, shipment holds, clearance delays, and legal liability. CBP can request invoices, payment proof, and other documents to verify value. Declare accurately and control costs legally — e.g. compare courier quotes or choose a tax-inclusive plan — rather than under-declaring.

Common prohibited or strictly restricted categories include: • Flammable/explosive materials and hazardous goods (batteries, sprays, chemicals have strict rules) • Counterfeit or infringing goods • Regulated food, plant/animal products, and medicines • Weapons, ammunition, and related items • Carrier-specific prohibited lists Restrictions vary by courier; some items (e.g. battery-powered products) require specific packaging and labeling. Confirm with customer service or your chosen carrier before shipping.
