Tracking toy tariffs

I got a shipment notification from Hobby-Genki today for my SHF Scarlet Spider. So far, no mention of any additional duties (I paid for FedEx back when the preorder went up and just before everything went to shit) at this time so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the time being that all is well.
 
I had FedEx get back to me Monday about two months later that my import charges were waived.

Then the same day I got the notice they sold it to collections.

I didn't notice my email until I saw your post. My figure landed in the private warehouse. I'm a hobby-genki noob. I think I'm supposed to contact them and request a shipping invoice?

I'm a noob as well and did not select private warehouse storage. I have been assigned "Agent 5." Sounds intriguing.
 
It was all a tease as they ended up warehousing the item last night. If I want to ship it I’ll have to pay an additional 400 Yen plus the tariff (estimated at 15%). I thought I was in the clear since I elected and paid for FedEx shipping when I preordered it. It is what it is, but I plan to ship it and just pay the fee (assuming their estimate is correct).
 
I haven't had an answer back from them. I didn't pay any shipping, but I also didn't realize I was paying for the figure in advance. I figure if shipping + tariff stays under $55, then the cost will be under BBTS' price if I include sales tax + $4 shipping.

It's also just more evidence of how the global economy is just Cloud Cuckoo Land and fairy kisses.

"But the touted benefits of the acquisition did not materialise. Saks failed to make a $100m interest payment to creditors due in late December, tied to roughly $2.2bn of debt that it took on to fund the merger."

If it was a layperson the powers that be would just be telling them, That's what you get for living beyond your means, And no one would want to discuss how you can't outbudget an economy that makes necessities luxury.

On top of the fact that he suspended the tariffs for another year. Little good it does them now, and of course the companies have to prepare for supposed tariffs anyway and when they don't materialize they have increased costs without any benefit.

Reminds me of the quote:

"If you owe the bank a million dollars and can't pay it back you are in trouble. If you owe the bank $100 million dollars and can't pay it back they are in trouble."

I get the feeling the banks are going to be in a lot of trouble in the coming year, which naturally means they'll get bailed out again and the US public will be in trouble.
