This past Wednesday I received a snus order that was shipped via UPS. It was for 13 cans. I almost fell over when the driver said there was a COD fee of $132.05 . $127.05 duty was assessed on the pkg, along with a $5.00 brokerage fee for clearing it with customs.
I just got off the phone with the UPS Customs/Brokerage office in Philadelphia. After explaining my situation, the pleasant lady informed me that someone had charged at a rate of 350 %, which for snus was completely wrong. The re-calculated duty came out to $6.49, along with a $5.00 brokerage fee.
This I can live with. She said they'll be sending me a refund. I'm so relieved. It was the 1st time getting clipped for Customs/brokerage fees. So at $11.49 total I can't really complain !!
Happy snusing
