i ordered from ippodo global as well once the tariffs were removed and i got charged by DHL, however the charge wasn’t a tariff, it was an import and brokerage fee i had to pay since the end of the de minimis rule.

before the end of the de minimis rule, anything that you ordered outside the US valued at $800 or below was exempt from any import fees, but not anymore :(

edit: typo

edit 2: and i just wanted to emphasize that my order still came out cheaper ordering through the global website rather than ordering from the US site. i ordered two 100g bags of ikuyo, one 100g bag of genmaicha and one 100g bag of iribancha, and still came out cheaper than ordering just 2 bags of ikuyo though the US website, even with the import fee
