  • Thank you for showing me an actual government website. I could not find a government website myself when originally looking for this. But that website is difficult to use and I am still uncertain of what the tariff would be.

    One part gives me the impression the tariff would be 100%, the other page says 8% and also 35%. I don’t understand if that’s 8% + 35%.

    Either way, I don’t think I want to pay 35% on this handbag, and am considering not making this purchase anymore.





  • Granted my items totaled 130 or so so I had like a $36 cost for that.

    This is good to know. US$36 fee on US$130 is near 30% tariff which would be an additional US$180 on a US$600 purse. This was my fear, and I have to factor this expense in to decide whether it’s still worth it.

    The company ships DHL, so I hope that resolves the shipping complications.

    The handbag is made in Italy, so I guess the question is not related to France, but Italy, even though I am buying it from France.













  • There are Palestinian journalists reporting from Gaza. And I do check in with news orgs that use their reporting, and independent reporting.

    I sincerely hope these tiktok videos are true. But outside of tiktok, instagram, facebook, reddit posting the same video, I have not seen a Palestinian journalist report on this.

    I’m not trying to put you down, but I’m skeptical to accept videos at face value because it’s easy for people on social media to create false narratives and upload them for content. I’m just hoping for a journalist to verify this story.
