UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

[Aussie105]

13. A lot of stuff you order from an American based website

isn't made in America.
Simply an import business taking orders and buying from overseas.
Guess unexpected tariffs on those items should not come as a surprise, but rather reveal the business practise behind some 'American' companies.

Example: Looking for quality cheap optical eyewear?
https://www.goggles4u.com/

American site, right?

Items you receive come from the manufacturer. In Thailand or Pakistan. (The postmark tells you that.)
Any tariff to be paid on those?
Yep, 10%

I'm guessing the packages that are the topic of this thread were hand delivered, and needed payment of tariff on the spot before handing it over, and the buyer said 'No thanks! Go away! I don't want it!'

Got to ask the question though:
If, as per Trump's pronouncements, the tariffs would be paid by overseas countries, why don't the bills go to the sender rather than the recipient of overseas products?
