Granted my items totaled 130 or so so I had like a $36 cost for that.

This is good to know. US$36 fee on US$130 is near 30% tariff which would be an additional US$180 on a US$600 purse. This was my fear, and I have to factor this expense in to decide whether it’s still worth it.

The company ships DHL, so I hope that resolves the shipping complications.

The handbag is made in Italy, so I guess the question is not related to France, but Italy, even though I am buying it from France.
