Worth knowing

Amazon's Import Fees Deposit is an estimate — if actual duty is lower, the difference is refunded.
Items fulfilled from a domestic warehouse are not imports and carry no duty for you.

Why the amount changes so much

Three things drive the number: the tariff classification of the goods, the country they were made in, and where they clear customs. Two parcels of the same value can differ by tens of percent because one is classified as footwear and the other as a toy — which is why the calculator asks for the product rather than just the price.
