DJI Remote Controller RC2 Question

[MS Coast]

United States​

Q: Is there still a duty-free limit for small packages?

• From August 29, 2025, the $800 de minimis exemption has been removed. All shipments now go through U.S. Customs.

Q: Will I pay import duties or tariffs?

• Yes. Due to the new reciprocal tariffs imposed by the U.S. government:
  • Products made in Norway (e.g. most LifThor mounts, brackets, sunhoods, clamps) are subject to a 15% U.S. import tariff.
  • Products made in China (e.g. cables) are currently subject to a 30% U.S. import tariff (10% reciprocal + 20% fentanyl-related). This rate is in effect until November 10, 2025, but may change afterward.
  • Monitors are exempt from these tariffs.
• U.S. Customs may also add state/local sales tax (usually 5–10%).

Q: How will these tariffs/taxes be collected?

• DHL acts as our customs broker in the U.S.
• DHL will calculate any import tariff and state/local sales tax.
• You will be notified (usually by email or SMS) and must pay DHL directly before your package is delivered.

Q: What happens if I refuse to pay taxes or duties?

• You can choose to have the shipment returned to us or destroyed by local Customs.
• If returned, we can refund the product price once it arrives back.
• However, shipping costs are non-refundable, and DHL will add an extra return handling fee (often higher than the original shipping cost). This extra cost will also be deducted from your refund.
• If you choose to have the shipment destroyed, we cannot issue a refund.

Disclaimer: Tariff rates are set by the U.S. government and may change at short notice due to ongoing trade actions. The information above reflects the situation as of August 2025.

I realize tariffs don't apply to Amazon. I was referring to the 15% tariff that applies now if I buy from Thorsdroneworld in Norway. The de minimis rule that exempted imports valued at under $800 was removed making most items from Norway shipped here subject to the 15% tariff.

The tariffs will soon apply to Amazon purchases, too. Once the existing Amazon supply of his goods already in the U.S. is exhausted, his Amazon prices will also have to reflect 15% tariffs.

Which is why buying anything he sells on Amazon should be purchased now, as Amazon's current U.S. warehouse stock of his goods is still tariff free. But not for long!
