Tariffs.....used to be you could avoid them if total less than $800 - that loophole has been cancelled.

Yeah, a friend told me just yesterday that he had to pay UPS $190 in duties to import a set of tubes from Blockley. No mention of customs forms, but we have discussed the inconsistency of government enforcement on this topic before…

Not sure what's going on but a HS-7 form isn't about tariffs it appears to be related to Federal Safety standards. Are Blocklely Tires DOT rated? Maybe that's what its about. It also could be that UPS made a mistake i their thinking. OR need to identify the proper tire description for a tariff. Motorcycle tires might be tariff free

Did some more checking and see that Blockley tires are DOT certified. Don't know about the inner tubes, but they need DOT certification if for highway use. So, you'll need to ask UPS, "specifically", why the declaration is required because you can't fill out the hs-7 form out without that knowledge
