p.1 #1 · Light Lens Lab Tariffs?


For those of you in the U.S. who have purchased a lens from Light Lens Lab in 2026, were you charged a tariff in the U.S.? If so, what % were you required to pay?

I am planning to order one of their lenses, but in doing so I don't want to write a blank tariff check.

Thanks,
Ray

I would have thought that ended since the tariffs are illegal. Was it something delivered already?

No surprise bills when I got my AA. It’s factored into the price.

The US Supreme Court found the original tariffs unconstitutional. To compensate, a few days later Trump ordered new tariffs in a lower amount using a different Presidential authority. So tariffs are in place, just not the same ones in the same amounts.

In essence, we still are paying extra "taxes" to the US Government when we order anything from abroad.

That sounds like handling fees, i.e. a surcharge for doing your paperwork and bringing the item into the country.
