Greetings all. Here's another, "is this normal" post.
I bought a kilt from a maker in Scotland.
Fedex had to pay US customs $121 in fees to get it into the US.
Has anyone else experienced this outrageous fee?
Fedex customer service offered me no recourse, as "fee is to high" is not an acceptable grievance. I was told that importing textiles (yes I filled out the customs form a personal purchase, not for business) is considerably higher taxes.

I find this grossly overpriced. Walmart can have children making their textiles and import them into the country for pennies but if I support paying a living wage to someone in Scotland, I get charged $121.
yikes
