I live in the US and have a question about Trump’s tariffs.

I am considering ordering a US$600 handbag online from a store in France. Would I have to pay a tariff on such a purchase? As far as I can tell, any tariffs owed are not included in the purchase price on the website.

Thank you for any input you have on the subject.

Edit: The handbag is labeled “Made in Italy” which may change the tariff apparently.

    As I recall you will at least pay ~20% in import tax on stuff from EU, but before they reach the US there’s always the chance of major increases (see Chinas 100% tariff).

      The words “at least” worry me. I’d like to know what I’m expecting.

      Your point about the US changing the tariff while the handbag is in-route is a valid concern.
