That's how it will work starting May first. eBay sellers are already adding the surcharge to their prices.

Some sources say the minimum import duty will be $25 in May and increase to $50 in June. Other sources say the initial charge will be $100 and increase to $200 in June. eBay sellers seem to be going with the higher estimate.
The fees only apply to items shipped from China and Hong Kong at the moment, but Democrats -- not Trump's Republican party, but the Democrats -- want to apply the fees to parcels from all countries.
