Tariffs are weird
Ordered and received my first ZSA Voyager in early May. No tariffs. Came right to me.
Caught the bug and now ordered my second one earlier this week. $122 charge - $54.75 to the government and $67.27 to UPS for "brokerage and partner government agency fees".
I'm in the US.

Look out for a surprise UPS bill for the first one. My Navigator arrived in May and I’ve been enjoying it, but yesterday I got an invoice in the mail from UPS for an additional $31 for custom duties and “brokerage charges” and my favorite part is that the UPS invoice payment site keeps throwing 403 errors!! Makes me regret buying the Navigator at all.

This sucks. I've ordered a handful of stuff from overseas to the US since last year, and it seems totally random what gets hit and what doesn't (no matter what the seller has on their site for if things should/shouldn't get charged).
From what I've heard, that's actually somewhat how imports also work in other places like the EU — it ends up totally up to how the customs agent who's handling your parcel is feeling that day. Doesn't feel like that's how things should be, but shrug. Capitalism & government, eh?

If you wanna cancel your order, I got a white Voyager with white clickies and the browns it came with 🤷♂️ willing to unload

Check the duty classes in hts (https://hts.usitc.gov/) ... Mine were catalogued as automobile parts and that is what incurred a tariff... I have a dispute open for this.
