Is there any way around this or do I have to pay? I've never used this customs broker and they just sent the customs release info that is attached..
Is this customs broker correct or did they do something wrong here? Is there a chance the ISF did not get filed properly (I used easyisf.com to do that part).
They are saying US Customs is putting a 25% tarriff on the laser cutter. The Laser cutter cost around $4,000 and the Customs fees are over $1,000
The customs broker is saying that the new duties implemented earlier this week are causing this.
