Import duties/taxes on WN orders now?

Recommended Posts

I’ve placed 6-8 orders from WN over last 2yrs and until this last order placed a week ago I’ve never had to pay an extra import duty/tax. It was an additional $46 on an $1100US order. I wasn’t notified of the additional charge until the package went through customs after it had landed in the states. 

 

Has as anyone else experienced an additional charge lately? Do we thank OPUS for this new expense or was this an anomaly? WN had no idea what the extra charge may have been.

 

Puzzled-

I think, please correct me if I am wrong, but there is a threshold dollar amount that they either give you a "pass" on or the retailer simply picks up. I buy alot of bike parts, varying in price, from overseas vendors and have noticed over $800 I often get a bill for import duties.

I could be way off...

My experience is somewhat different. Lately I have placed a couple of orders in the last few weeks and had them delivered to my US address NO duty , just the shipping on sizeable order (< 500).

 

I also just exported German parts into US and paid no duty ..... so strange they are now subject to duty charges, unless new  versus old is the kicker.

That’s nothing count your self lucky here in Canada is crazy I had a order of 2000$ and I paid 300$ in fees coming from customs

Interesting. I thought the tariffs started in 2019. Are you sure those were tariffs and not duty?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
