Does YesStyle Have Tariffs? Yes, but It Refunds Them
Yes at the border, but YesStyle refunds it. US import duty on Korean goods: 12.5% on the whole value of the goods, from the first dollar. You pay it on delivery; YesStyle refunds it as YesStyle Credit on orders under US$1,000 if you claim within 30 days with the customs receipt. Shipping is free over $35.00, or $6.00 below that. The two thresholds sit at different amounts, so the cheapest order is rarely the smallest one — here is where both lines fall.
Who pays? You do, at the door — then YesStyle gives it back as YesStyle Credit once you claim it. Keep the courier's receipt. The refund terms on YesStyle, read 2026-10-04. This page concerns Korean skincare imported into the United States; it is not one tariff rule for every product sold by this shop.

How do you claim YesStyle's refund?
- Pay the charge when it is asked for. YesStyle's terms say the customer must first settle the customs fees with the local customs department or the courier.
- Keep the receipt. The claim must be submitted within 30 days of the payment receipt date.
- Claim it through YesStyle's refund page. nuvy has not filed a claim itself, so it does not describe the form.
- It comes back as YesStyle Credit, to spend at YesStyle — not as money back to your card.
Not covered: orders of US$1,000 or more, counted before coupons and without shipping, and any tax YesStyle charges at its own checkout. Terms read 2026-10-04.

Duty, tariff, customs, import fees — which is which
Duty and tariff are the same charge, and "customs" is both the agency that collects it and the everyday word for it. It is a percentage of what the goods are worth, decided by the border rather than by the shop.
VAT and GST are a different tax. A country can charge duty, a consumption tax, both, or neither, which is why there is a page per country rather than one rule for everywhere. Into the United States, the charge nuvy quotes is one thing: US import duty on Korean goods.
"Import fees" is an umbrella — it covers everything above, and it is also where one charge hides that nuvy does not quote: a courier's own fee for clearing the parcel and fronting the tax. That one is the courier's, not the border's, and it is not in any total on this page. Everything nuvy does put a number on is above.
What do shipping and import add at different order sizes?
| Order | Shipping | Import | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| $21.00 | $6.00 | $2.63 | $29.63 |
| $40.00 | free | $5.00 | $45.00 |
| $150.00 | free | $18.75 | $168.75 |
What does a real routine cost at your door?

| YesStyle | $70.68 | $8.84 | $79.52 |
| BuyBeautyKorea | $134.70 | shop pays | $134.70 |
