I'm not sure why something from the Czech Republic would have a tariff applied. So much depends on the broker doing the paperwork. If they screw up it is nearly impossible to get them to fix it. I imported some partially complete PCBs from China, shipped by DHL, paid the tariff. Did the same thing about 10 months later, same PCBs produced by same factory shipped by FedEx this time. FedEx charged 2x the tariff and I could not get them to bother to look at it. They even wanted to charge me $150 to investigate their mistake.
