ordered a seat from titan performance, Paul wasnt sure what the actual fee would be, but here was the result:
(roughly 300.00 usd order).  ... heres the real kicker.

today, I got an order delivered from xometry, was about 550.00 usd my cost. zero tariff fees. this was a few of the parts i needed for the harris bike starter adapter. yes they were made overseas.

right now im flying high on dayquil and cold meds but.. fuck. so weird.

Ordered a set of turn signals, for girlfriend's 1980 Honda C70 Passport, from Thailand. Parts were not expensive, and shipping was about 3X the cost of the parts.  Seller states there will be import fees.  Curious to see how much and if the fees are based purely on the parts cost or if fees are charged on shipping as well. 

So...........
   The original Ebay post stated there would be import fees due.  The original shipper, from Thailand, stated there would be import fees due.  As soon as USPS received the parts to deliver, the official USPS Tracking website showed that import fees must be paid prior to delivery.
   Got home from dirt bike riding yesterday and the box with the parts was left on the porch by the mail carrier.
