I received a Lunar Remastered Collection poster the other day from Korea. Just a typical transaction no surprises.

I was trying to do some digging because I just bought a bunch of cards from Canada. Looks like if anything is bought over $800 , expect a Tariff charge on it.

Vader Mythos exclusive 1/4 for EU-Netherlands.

Can't wait to see the US import fee from customs.

The tarrif is 6%, so what they announced, not more.

That's good to know. For reference my poster cost $85, shipping was around $15 for EMS, and the rest was the usual eBay fees. Korea to Connecticut.

I ordered the Gimmick! arranged soundtrack CD from Black Screen Records the other day and they were still shipping via DHL. The DHL cost was about $24 for a small box with a jewel case in it. The reason I bring this up is certain PVC figure shops overseas and proxy services such as Buyee and Mercari have stopped shipping via DHL till the tariff stuff gets resolved because it was too expansive. They're pushing FedEx Air instead. I also noticed a lot of Asia SEA shipping has been blacked out at my shops. Must cost a fortune for those cargo containers.

Hmmm....perhaps, but I see my custom statue groups lately are only offering sea shipping and they haven't mentioned any difficulty with shipping items like that.....as of yet
