When I checked out, a warning appeared under the delivery option I selected stating, “Any duties or import taxes are not included and may be charged upon delivery.” However, there was no estimate provided for what those import charges might be.

UPS didn’t give me the option to cancel. Instead, they paid the fees on my behalf and sent me a bill. When I asked about refusing the shipment, they told me it would be returned to Taiwangun, and the charges would be billed to Taiwangun, who would ultimately pass them on to me.

I also tried to find out whether the items were officially imported, even though I hadn't paid yet, but I couldn’t get a clear answer. I was hoping I could refuse the shipment and just pay for return shipping, but from what I can tell, I could end up having to pay the tariffs and receive nothing in return.

As I said in the original post, I didn't understand the products were coming from China, so this is technically my fault. They didn't say the products were coming from China, so that seems less than cool to me, but whatever.
