I am in the USA and I found some items on websites and when I add to the cart to check out. I notice some charge sales tax and others will not charge sales tax but will charge duties tax (between 10%-15%). Some websites charge both sales tax and duties tax.
Italist.com will charge “duties” of 15% and “taxes” based on my shipping address. Seems like the highest duties compared to Baltini which charges 10% duties.
Baltini.com will charge “shipping and import duties tax” of 10% + “taxes” based on my shipping address.
Cettir e.com will charge “taxes” based on my shipping address. Doesn’t say if I am going to have to pay duties once it arrives.
Matches.com will charge “taxes” based on my shipping address. It indicates that “duties and shipping charges included”. So they only charge sales tax but essentially not extra duties. The sales tax is the same as the other websites despite including duties tax. Unless I get another duties charge once it arrives?
Zapclothing.com will not even charge any taxes at all. I’m not sure if I will have to pay sales tax once it arrives. But they told me I will have to pay duties tax once it arrives in USA but didn’t tell me what it is. Anyone know what duties cost for clothing to USA?
Why do some places charge sales tax (and why am I paying sales tax when buying from Italian store out of USA?) and some places like Baltini charge both sales tax AND 10% duties upfront but Matches only charge sales tax but says duties in already included ?
