UPS Customers with False Russian Aluminum Tariffs for Business Insider

Interested in chatting about "Russian aluminum" and other incorrect tariffs? Hi everyone, thanks to everyone who reached out to me at Business Insider with stories about international shipping issues with UPS! We recently published a story about UPS customers having their packages destroyed due to customs issues. We are currently working on a story about UPS customers facing seemingly false 200% Russian aluminum tariffs and other similarly incorrect duties. A few people we spoke with for the first story mentioned that UPS and/or Customs had applied Russian steel or aluminum tariffs to their packages, even if the contents didn't contain either of those metals. If you’ve recently had experiences with this and are willing to speak with us in the next day or so, please reach out to my colleague at [email redacted]. We're also happy to maintain your anonymity if need be.
