Earlier this week, I received an invoice from UPS concerning a $3.44 book I ordered on EBAY from a vendor in Canada. For those who have yet to experience the intricacies of the new tariff policies, take a look at the UPS communication: https://learningaboutstamps.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/00000_Tariff-scaled.jpeg
You will note that the invoice indicates that there was no tariff but there was a $10 processing fee, an amount equal to 290% of the actual cost of the import. It is not clear to whom that amount is ultimately distributed, UPS or the U.S. Government, or both.
