Tariffs on tobacco

[BigR]

I'm thinking about ordering some tobacco from Germany and was wondering how these tariffs work? Anyone purchased from out of the US lately and know about the costs and whatever else is involved?

I recall threads from around 2 years ago that ordering from estervals was become a crapshoot regarding shipping
I can’t comment on tariffs adding additional drama

Use a professional carrier (I.e. UPS, FedEx, DHL, not postal) and the tariff should be 15% on the declared value of your order.

I’d avoid using the postal service for this delivery. If I’ve read the executive order regarding the end of de minimis correctly, theres a flat charge of $80 per item in the delivery coming by the international postal network (like USPS).

I've ordered from Estervals a few times this year. DHL.

I always get my packages but I do have to pay tariffs before it is released for delivery.

And what is the tariff rate?

15%

Btw, the 15% I mentioned is specific to Germany. Other countries will have their own rates (But I believe all of Europe is 15% at the moment).

I wonder what tariffs that the EU has charged on imported US tobacco?
