I, for one, appreciate the factual information and the correction of incorrect commentary from people without the hands-on experience.

Wow! A political thread - thought it wasn't allowed. It is right on the line. For now. Unfortunately, they have injected politics into everything.

Importing these coins into the US is free. That's news to me! The shipment that just cost me $60 met those criteria. But I bet I'll never get the money back.

So why did Dearborn not pay a tariff on his French coin while tdziemia did on his coin?  Please note, the De Minimis rule has been revoked. |

The de minimis Section 123 rules may have been
revoked, but there are CBP officers that still use their
resources properly . For instance if one package needs
Tariffs applied on a 15 dollar item at say 20 per cent ,
Meaning $3 is due but it costs $30 to do the paperwork
the item will slide through almost all the time .Just not worth
the effort or time needed.
If tariffs of $60 are involved they will collect it!
Same happens in Canada as well. When we walk our
US mail back with say $100 of stuff , they are usually
not too interested .Even though our de minimis on same
day returning is just $20.
Just tell the truth, no issues ever.

To be clear ...
NumisEd's post and my comment had to do with the fact that COINS OVER 100 YEARS OLD ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SUBJECT TO ANY DUTIES according to the most recent tariff schedule.
I bought a batch of medieval coins and paid a duty.
So I got screwed.
As cited by Pacificoin, a separate and unrelated practice is the exercising of discretion by a customs officer to not waste taxpayer money to collect $1.90 in duty.

I suppose EVERYTHING is subjected to the 10-15% reciprocal tariff?
