Alibaba tariff

I have not noticed any additional charges to purchases made through Alibaba or Aliexpress. What I have noticed are adds showing a specific price and when I research that item via the link prices go up. One thing to be careful of are shipping charges not mentioned during the purchase process.
AliExpress has been integrating the tariffs into the base cost.

AliBaba it is a separate line item.

Both are adding the tariffs, unless the item ships from US.

Alibaba $119.70 CVLife scope
$45.49 in tariffs
$210.66 out the door.

There are ZERO tariffs on the invoice. I only see import duty.

1) Import duty is charged by the US government. Paid by the importer. In this case, that's you

2) Tariffs are paid by an exporter. Part of their export process.

Your best option is to buy in the US from an importer who has already paid the tarrifs. Shop around.
