which pretty much everything coming in through the mail now is, then the carrier, i.e. FedEx will pay the tariff at the port of entry. When they deliver the item to the customer it’s C.O.D. and the customer has to pay the tariff plus a brokerage fee to FedEx to get their shipment. The brokerage fee is often a significant fraction of the tariff itself.

I’m assuming FedEx wouldn’t refund the brokerage fee but any tariff refund would not be theirs to keep.
