I'd like to by a Mini 5 Pro thru 102_store00, total price is $1263.38 at checkout. I noticed on the ad for the drone it says "Due to US customs policies, the buyer of this item will need to pay import fees to the shipping carrier prior to delivery." Is this the tariff I will need to pay to get it in the US? If it is how much additional will that be? I'm confused, could the $1263.38 price go up? Thanks

When I see that on an advert I go and look for a different seller. Here in the UK there’ll often be a flat administration fee added to any import fees. Look for somewhere that gives you the price delivered.
As for how much you could pay, that depends on what is declared by the seller on the customs declaration and what the customs agents decide.
 
Depending on shipper, From S. Korea Around 500 U.S. to Texas. So 1700 for your Mini..WAY too much!

Yes, but the seller is apparently no longer stating "price includes all additional tariff charges." Seller is now disclaiming any responsibility for them, making the buyer responsible for them. Depending upon whether the seller is doing anything to minimize those tariffs, the additional tariffs could be substantial, or even zero.

I have bought from them and I think you are reading the EBAY notice that is on all vendors pages, it looks they are out of stock on the version you want but the others still say this lowering in the add

Yes, if this seller is still stating that, you can rely upon it. It supersedes the generic eBay notice.
If you'll notice, the China sellers do not have this generic eBay notice on their listings. I have yet to test it but I don't believe the delivery service being used by shipments coming from China involve additional customs fees or tariffs. You never know from day to day with the negotiations but either the China (non) tariffs are working off some sort of suspension or else the CCP is paying the tariff for their domestic merchants; the latter wouldn't surprise me. Which is why I am about to place an eBay order for M5P batteries from China/HK in time for Nov 1.

Of course you'll be ordering the M5P standard batteries that don't broadcast RID, right? LOL!

I bought a DJI RC Pro 2 on eBay from a Chinese shipper and did not have to pay additional tariff in September. Most Chinese sellers seem to have dropped off eBay currently.
