Even if there are import tariffs/duties what matters is whether they're enforced. Unlike my friends in Canada (just one example) I've never actually had any fees levied on a shipment I received from overseas. So even if the average American taxpayer technically owes fees those fees probably never get collected unless they're on big purchases.
