How much tariff if buying $10k from Japan?


Dear all,

This is November 2025, I’m about to execute a $10k brand new item from Japan and was curious how much everyone had paid from what amount and what month, year. Thanks

ebay charges you but it's not taxing. You pay the taxes to your state. Via ebay.

I just bought a watch from Japan a week ago for $6200, the tariff fee was $1088 from DHL ... Bought direct from the seller so I dodged the 10% California ripoff sales tax though 

@nasaman 

I would avoid purchasing any products from Japan that aren't rated in American voltage simply because a properly specified step-down transformer will probable ameliorate and savings you think you might be getting!

@faustuss the step down transformer costs no more than $350 and that's for a really good one. They cause no interference whatsoever.
