T = Tariffs

Just wondering if anyone who has ordered a PicoCalc in the US could tell me how much of a customs fee or tariff is tacked onto the shipping costs. A few months ago I ordered a Meshtastic node from China — the final “price tag” was almost double what was listed on the website. I’m not adverse to paying customs or tariff fees, but I’d like to avoid sticker shock. 😱

Thanks in advance!
