Hey,
is there a way to add, for example, 18% to all orders shipped to the US if they are below a certain amount? Because of current US tariffs, this would be necessary.
Specifically:
• If the order value is below $800 (or the equivalent in EUR), I’d like to add 18%
• If it’s over $800, nothing should be added
This would be similar to the VAT solution used for the UK after Brexit:

The main difference is that this is not VAT. My idea was to reuse the VAT implementation, but with different wording in the shop and on the invoice.
The plan would be:
• create an 18% VAT rate for the US
• make the shop display “US tariffs included” instead of “VAT included” whenever the delivery country is the US
Technically, this should be fairly straightforward: essentially just a small check like
“if delivery country = US, replace ‘VAT’ with ‘tariff’.”
For orders below $800, the amount would simply be shown at checkout as “US tariffs.”
For orders over $800, DDP won’t be possible. In that case, 15% would be displayed as “estimated customs duty,” together with a note that this amount — plus an additional fee — must be paid to the parcel carrier upon receipt of the goods.
Does this make sense from your side, or would you recommend a different approach?
