As it stands it's 10% UK and 15% Europe. I guess if you have an item that's showing 'made in India' then that will attract a 50% tariff, as things stand. No idea what the Chinese one is, it seems to change on an almost daily basis.
Presumably the US buyer pays it their end, no idea if anything is set up in the US yet for them to pay it though.
At least we're back up and running with Royal Mail:
Royal Mail has become the first international postal operator to launch new services for customers sending parcels to the United States, in anticipation of new customs requirements.
From today, customers can access the company’s new postal delivery duties paid (PDDP) services.
Our UK-based customers, whether consumers or businesses, can now send items to the US through all of our usual channels, including online and the Post Office, in time for the new customs requirements which come into effect on August 29.
Now, with just a few exceptions, all goods entering the USA will attract duties which will need to be paid to the US customs authorities, a process that will be handled by Royal Mail, but will add 50p per parcel handling charge to “cover the additional costs associated with providing clearance services into the USA”, which will be invoiced as a handling fee.
