Emeritus University of Tennessee economist Harold Black sent the following email to me this morning. I share it here with his kind permission.
Morning Don, Today I read your open letter to the president and this notice from ebay: “Due to US Customs policies, you will need to pay import fees for this order to the shipping carrier prior to delivery.” I thought the president said that the exporter paid the duty so should I refuse delivery because there must have been some mistake in that they want me to pay it?
All the best,
Harold
