Dear Valued US Customers,
We understand that the concept of tariffs and why they are borne by purchasers might be confusing. This announcement aims to clarify this matter and provide you with a better understanding.
Tariffs are essentially taxes imposed by governments on imported goods. When we sell products to the US market, the US government enforces these tariffs as a way to regulate international trade, protect domestic industries, and generate revenue. These tariffs are levied at the border when goods enter the United States, and they are calculated based on the value, type, and origin of the imported items.
In international trade, the principle is that the party importing the goods is responsible for paying the applicable tariffs. As the purchaser in the United States, you are considered the importer in this transaction. When you place an order with our website, the goods are shipped from our location to the US. Upon arrival at the US border, the US Customs and Border Protection authorities will assess the tariffs based on their regulations. Since we are not the entity importing the goods into the US, we are unable to cover these costs on your behalf.
Moreover, including the tariff amount in the total price you pay helps ensure that all regulatory requirements are met accurately. If we were to absorb the tariff costs, it could lead to discrepancies in financial records and potential legal issues. By having you, the purchaser, bear the tariffs, we can maintain compliance with US trade laws and avoid any misunderstandings or violations.
We know that this might add an extra expense to your purchase, and we truly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, this is a standard practice in international trade, and it applies to all businesses operating in the cross – border e – commerce space. Our team is constantly exploring ways to optimize our operations and potentially reduce costs in other aspects of our services to mitigate the impact of tariffs on your overall experience.
If you have any further questions or need more detailed information about tariffs, please feel free to contact our customer service team. We are here to assist you and make your shopping experience as smooth as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
LoongWa
