This was before current administration. FedEx charged me $60 AFTER delivery of $30 hat gifted to me from my US peers (yep, no warning, I got an email that I owe them $60 a few days after parcel was delivered). I originally thought it's a scam, but it was not. I diaputed this stating I should be informed BEFORE, not after delivery. After 6 months of back and forth I found that it's actually EU tarrifs.

The secret to international shipments is to ALWAYS demand it be sent by the government postal service.

You might still get hit with tariffs but you won’t get hit with insane brokerage fees.
