Who do I pay import fees to?
Hello, I ordered a package from Ireland to the United States knowing I will have to pay import fees and taxes. I have been getting flooded with emails and texts from AnPost (Irish shipping company) with a link to payment on their website, saying they will send my item back to the seller if I don’t pay by tomorrow, but wouldn’t I be paying the USPS for customs and not AnPost from Ireland? isn’t it the destination country that gets paid? Are the emails a phishing scam because they include a link to payment? Am I paranoid or just stupid?
The emails have my name, address, phone number and the business name and they started right after the business sent me an email saying my order was shipped. It’s untracked. I’ve ordered from them multiple times before the tariffs and everything changed so I know the small business isn’t a scam but I’ve never had these problems before.
I have ordered things from abroad from other places and paid my fees without any trouble. The small business was absolutely no help at all when I emailed them about this 🙄 thank you to anyone who is willing to help me!!
