    I was going to order a set of targa top fat rubber seals from Cicognani. About $90 to ship but I have heard some folks are getting overcharged a large amount by the shipper with the tariff situation. Tariff on Italian imports is 15% from what I can discern. Has anyone bought from them lately and experienced any problems?

    $90 would be your shipping but expect to be charged 15% Tariff for Italian goods, Another percentage duty (variable depending on the classification) for auto trim, and brokerage charge by the carrier to file all the paperwork on your behalf (likely $40-$60). You would be better off buying from Rutlands or another Cicognani stocking dealer in the US. Ever since the DeMinimus exception of $800 was scrapped on August 1st importing anything into the US has been a nightmare. My company sends out 100+ packages a day and I could write a book of the problems we encountered. Many international sellers have stopped shipping to the US because it is not worth the trouble.

    I found a set in the US for about the same money. Tried to edit/delete my post but I guess I timed out. Hopefully the tariff issue will get sorted out at some point.

    Not to get political, but when I ship to my son in Italy, the tax is 50% sometimes! That's a disaster!!
