    Some shoppers are getting surprised with new fees
    from online purchases, sometimes days or weeks
    after ordering, as tariffs on Chinese goods hit
    U.S. consumers.

    It’s not clear how widespread the issue is, but
    shoppers are reporting that they have been getting
    notices from carrier companies, including UPS and
    DHL, that they owe new fees, long after the
    purchase was made.
