Get used to it, at least as long as we have this administration. This is what a trade war looks like.
This has nothing to do with that. The import fee + brokerage fee was always there for higher-priced miners. Best way to deal with it is to have it billed to your FedEx/UPS account. No delays that way.
Tariffs on electronics have increased, so what you pay for importing them is higher than it was. I've been ordering electronics from China for years, and the past month what UPS has charged has increased significantly (in comparison to previous fees, not product price).
Or you can roll the dice with DHL. I've had good luck with them, and so far haven't been charged import fees, I've heard that it's hit and miss but when you ARE charged the items are held in customs until you pay (again, HEARD, all I know personally is that the last two miners I bought were shipped DHL and just delivered with no extra fee). UPS is more consistent, but I have always had to pay the import fee.
