How Our US Customers Save on Imports
We stock a wide range of imported brands — many of which are hard to find anywhere else in the US. Our goal is to make top international products easily available, in stock and ready to ship.
Duties on Imported Products
When a US customer (individual or business) buys directly from an international manufacturer, US Customs requires duties and tariffs to be paid when the shipment arrives. In the past, there was a de minimis exemption that allowed orders under $800 to avoid these charges. As of August 29, 2025, the US government suspended that exemption. Now all orders shipped directly from overseas are subject to duties, regardless of value.
How We Do It Differently
At Power Meter City, we import products from international manufacturers into the US ourselves. We pay the duties and tariffs upfront when the products enter the country. So when you order from us (assuming you are located in the US), your purchase is already duty-paid. There are no surprise import fees, no customs paperwork, and no delays – just fast, hassle-free delivery.
On top of that, in most cases we can directly assist with exchanges, returns, warranty requests and other support. Handling these issues with a foreign-based manufacturer can be slow, complicated and expensive – but with us, it’s straightforward.
