USA Import Duties & Taxes

Additional costs for US customers

Sales Tax
Sales tax is not charged at checkout. You may still be responsible for reporting and paying any applicable state taxes.

Import Duties & Customs Fees
Starting August 29, 2025, all international shipments to the U.S. are subject to import duties and customs fees, regardless of order value. Previously, most shipments under $800 were duty-free, which is why many customers haven’t encountered these charges before.

These fees are set by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and are the responsibility of you, the buyer & importer. Your shipping carrier will pay these fees on your behalf and bill you before delivery. Once paid, your package will be released.

Fees vary depending on your order and items purchased. Please check your local regulations before ordering. Some customers' fees have totaled as low as 10% of their order value.

Why this happens
U.S. Customs collects these fees on imported goods to comply with federal trade regulations. They are the new standard for any products entering the United States and are not controlled by Kamerastore.
