Import fees on USA guitar to USA?


Hamer Dave

Question

Am I required to pay import fees on a USA Gibson being shipped from Canada, back to the US? Seller used UPS. I wouldn’t expect that, but they’re trying to hit me up for $133.45, which I feel is insane. Should I be able to contest this? Please advise. Thanks.

The seller said he sent the email to the UPS broker as requested, clarifying its origin being USA. I guess I’ll just wait to see if I get an invoice for any fees? 

I too have never had to pay from other purchases from Canada, or the European countries. EMS was used along with parcel posts, then to USPS. I recall DHL trying once but they dismissed it when I questioned them. 

Appreciate all your inputs. THANK YOU!!!

UPDATE...

Ok, I received a statement in the mail close to two weeks ago, from UPS for a reduced amount of $40. 

Appears they removed the dutie(?) fee, and I’m only on the hook for the ‘broker’ fees.
