From NBC News:

Some U.S. shoppers say they are being hit with surprise charges from international shipping carriers as the exemption on import duties for items under $800 expires as a part of President Donald Trump’s tariff push.

Hear me out … it’s almost like this administration is incompetent and doesn’t have our best interests in mind. In a world where one wanted to roll out tariffs to achieve their goals but also manage in a way that doesn’t choke out economic activity, they would likely do so in a staggered way that allowed businesses and consumers to plan both purchasing decisions as well as investment strategy around factory relocations, etc.

I personally have been hit by a number of these types of fees recently and I have zero clue what the real cost will be until a few days before delivery. The things I’m working with are minor consumer purchases. I can only imagine if I were trying to run a business.
