A Grandma Says She Ordered a $22 Barbie from Canada and Got Hit with a Massive $802 Tariff Fee: Here's Why
- A Boston grandmother was hit with an $802 tariff on a $22 Barbie bought from Canada.
- Officials say the tariff stemmed from a FedEx clerical error listing the item as valued at nearly $2,200.
- The incorrect valuation and new tariffs contributed to the large bill before it was reversed.
- O’Connell purchased the doll for her 4-year-old granddaughter, planning a Christmas gift.
- FedEx has not immediately responded to requests for comment from People.
- Under Trump-era tariffs, generally all items entering the U.S. from abroad are subject to fees and paperwork.
- The charge in this case was reversed after the error was identified.
