?? U.S. Import Duties & Taxes (for eBay listings)

English Template (for eBay listing field):

Important Notice Regarding U.S. Import Duties (Effective August 29, 2025)

Due to the repeal of the U.S. de minimis rule (previously exempting imports under USD 800), all shipments to the United States may now be subject to import duties and taxes, regardless of value.

eBay has adopted DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) as the default shipping condition for SpeedPAK and related services, meaning that duties and taxes are prepaid by the seller at the time of checkout, and the buyer does not need to make any additional payments upon delivery.

However, for other shipping methods such as FedEx, DHL, or Japan Post, the condition may remain DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). Under DDU, the buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes, or clearance fees requested by U.S. Customs or the courier before delivery.

The amount of duty and tax is determined by U.S. Customs based on the product category, HS code, declared value, and country of origin.

Please note that failure to pay the required import fees under DDU terms may result in delivery delays or return of the item.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with the new U.S. customs regulations.
