A few weeks before the tariff idiocy, I paid $320 including shipping for an ebike battery from the EU. When it arrived, it included a bill for an additional $350 from US Customs. That's insane, I refused.

When returning to sender, the package disappeared, presumably into Customs. I'm out $320 and still no battery.
