Iâ??ve bought quite a few parts from England since tarriffs were imposed from 
shops & ebay.

My experience is sometimes i get charged something & sometimes I donâ??t.  
Doesnâ??t seem to be consistent at all.  Also, the amount seems to vary, but I 
havenâ??t seen 25%, more like 5%-15%.

Only issue iâ??ve had was from Canada.  I agreed to the tarrif amount at time 
of order & paid cost of part, shipping & tariff.  Canadian Customs/Post refused 
to send the parts to me & after a month in their care they sent them back to 
shop/shipper. 

So, mixed bag.  I definitely wish the exchange rate was like it was in 
2022/2023 tho!
