Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask this question , but I'm wanting to order from Queen Battery to the US and I was wondering if anyone here has purchased batteries from them in the past few months . If so , should I expect to pay entry fees and such ? I saw that you can avoid duty fees if the value is under $800 USD , but are there other fees to be concerned about? I was quoted $88 USD shipping (tax free) via FedEx from QB , but I don't want to get blasted unexpectedly with a few hundred dollars in entry fees and other similar charges .
Questions about importing from China to US
- Thread starter Shunt
- Start date
After reading what I posted , I think maybe my wording implied the possibility of some issue with QB not being upfront about charges , which I didn't mean to imply at all. I should have left their name out of the post and focused on the actual subject. What I meant was , if I order from any Chinese vendor to the United States , and they are using Fed EX , are all the customs related charges part of the shipping fee they quote? I've never imported anything and I just don't want to be surprised with a big bill I wasn't expecting . Like entry fees or tariffs ; something like that.

Yes if as advertise 3p 90amp . they have ready made 3p 1s how much ? I wish 4p. Let us know how it works out.
No, no vendor can predict customs fees, they are currently very much in flux, and always the responsibility of the importer, which in these cases is the buyer.Shunt said:
Currently people are not reporting any, so be happy.
But that is IMO likely to be changing sooner rather than later.
For individual consumers, will maybe be almost random for the next few years, if any are charged it will always be unpredictable.
So if you really want to be conservative, budget for a possible 25-30%.
Be grateful these vendors bother helping with shipping at all, the norm is the buyer has to make all those arrangements.

I just got a completed$300 battery from UnitPackPower (UPP) from CHina to Illinois. In spite of what I hear about tariffs, there were no extra customs fees assessed. Maybe doesn't apply for something small? It was properly labelled as a lithium battery.

They do have good prices. I almost bought a ton of those "OEM" cells they had for $1.99 a piece and procrastinated for a couple days. Now they're long gone and replaced with the actual Molicel for over $5 each. Same battery from what I understand.
