Entry fees charged by U.S. customs Korea Mavic 4 Pro?

I’m done. So take your last shot. Enjoy:)
So let's say there are a hundred thousands Chinese hackers in a basement in a huge Beijing government office building and they have 200 million Chinese beads valued at $20 each and they have the address of 200 million US residents (captured from all the DJI drone flights). If they took 2 weeks and sent a single pack of beads to each American household and declared "seeds @ $1" obviously misrepresenting the contents, are you suggesting that all 200 million US households are "guilty" or "cheaters" if they don't a) pay the tariff or b) turn in the shipper? Did Chinese hackers turn all Americans into criminals inside of 2 weeks? :rolleyes:

Anyway seriously, I know the US government is in a weird spot right now but the laws still do require there to be intent to defraud and as far as I know, you have to refuse to pay. There's a difference between going out of your way to cheat vs. discovering someone else "cheated" and not turning them in or correcting their mistake.

None of us here are opposed to an audit and back-collection. If errors are found, I fully welcome CBP to make the necessary adjustments and re-bill the shipper or seller for the corrected amounts. My president told me these foreign countries pay the tariffs so it was no surprise to me that I didn't have to pay anything when my package arrives. In my previous post, I know it didn't sound like I knew that for sure, but today....I'm a believer. ;)

To understand my point, one would need to take a few minutes to look back at the posts wherein members of this group are bragging about knowingly cheating to avoid tariff fees. Some even make cavalier statements about having been able to illegally secure multiple drones and planning to sell them to make ill gained profit.

It’s surprising and disturbing to see this type of brazen self incrimination, as if these numb-nuts are actually proud of their cheating. Did their parents raise them to be cheaters? And are they teaching THEIR children to cheat? Doesn’t that make you wonder?
 
Anyway, yet another *new* round (I've lost count) of bigger tariff threats:

Cheating is now a national activity. What if we are given enough stock for free to be the second largest stock holder and a board spot on the board of Unusual Machines a drone startup. Or get a large airplane for "free", or a bit coin in our name while in public office. Maybe a $40 million bribe disguised as a documentary fee, or $50,000 in a paper bag for contract influence, or Gold bars and a Mercedes to influence favorable legislation. A major city mayor who traded free luxury trips to Turkey for what.
I just wonder who is teaching all those children that the way to get ahead is to cheat.

If my only issue with buying a Mavic 4 in this country was paying the tariff markup from DJI or B&H or whomever I would have. I do it all the time with photo equipment that is not being held up by a bogus claim by Elise Stefanik to get US customs to basically ban the company from selling their drones here. Just to project some nonsense about national security when TikTok still lives and today we find out that Quatar will be building an air force base in Idaho. Maybe that plane was not so free after all.

The opportunity to reply with like-minded political jabs about ole sleepy Joe (55 years without holding a non political job, yet amassed a fortune) would be so easy. BUT, because politics are not allowed here (hehe, yeah right, hello, is anybody reading these posts?), I’ll pass. And wish you a good evening.

If you bothered to read there was more than one side in the post
Ok I will play
"Trump himself has more than doubled his net worth, from an estimated $2.3 billion in 2024 to more than $5 billion this year"
"As of late 2024, President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, have an estimated net worth of $10 million,"
Both of the above came from Forbes
FYI just for refrence "The average middle class household owned $481K in wealth in Q1 2025 · Households in the Top 1% of earners have $25M+ more in wealth than those in the middle "
