I bought some hockey sticks recently. Free shipping over $300. UPS made me pay $50 on delivery for “Duties or taxes are due on this package.” The seller did not list the potential expenses outside of what was paid, and said they have no control over this.
Has anyone else run into this (with anything)?
I have never paid duties as a direct fee for anything not purchased in an airport. Shipping was Canada to U.S.
So you imported hockey sticks and are confused as to the duty?
Correct. I’ve purchased other items from Canada, and hockey sticks from other companies in the past. I’ve just never been charged for duties. With the listed free shipping, it seemed very odd.
