That is exactly the same for the U.S., with the same Harmonized code, 8534.00. https://hts.usitc.gov/search?query=8534 https://hts.usitc.gov/search?query=8534

...and has been that way for a long time. Only thing that might be different now is that the de-minimus import exemption is going away for (certain?) countries? (and of course the tariff rate changing).
- XorNot 1y agoThe difference now is the US wants mail carriers to collect tarrifs themselves and pay the US government. They have no way to do this, because it's normally not done - tarrifs are paid by the importer, and responsibility for correct labeling is by the importer.

- XorNot 1y agoThat's on the importer side for delivery to you. As I understand it, US customs wants foreign carriers to collect tarriffs when packages are shipped, and pay them to the US. There is no system to do this, nor a system to actually receive payments and associate them with a package. Nor any clarity on what the rules actually are and thus what the import duties will be when things arrive. The normal course of things is that things get shipped, hit customs and get assessed for duties, and then the importer pays for release. If you've ever experienced differently it's because someone is handling it for you - e.g. Amazon provide this service and absorb the complexity and risk.
