Fedex Retroactive "Duty Fees" in US
Just received a notice from Fedex for an order that I placed in August. Order was for $30 for a spool of wood filament. $22 FedEx shipping. Delivered a week later. Now they say I owe them an additional $9 in "Duty Fees" or there will be "Unnecessary Delays."
As you can tell from another thread here, the local US supplier is expensive and unreliable so that leaves us US Prusa fans in a bit of a pickle (as we say).

The answer is simple, Amazon. You can buy many Prusa products, including filament there. Even for things shipped from other countries, including China, there are no duty fees. Amazon covers it all and its included in the price upfront. Its sad we are here, but we are.

I wish, since I buy lots of filament from Amazon. Their "Prusament Store" has a limited selection of filaments and they have no parts for my MK4/S (other than Chinese knock-off nozzles).

How many parts do you need? My MK3 part cooling fan went out, and the Amazon replacement works fine. Most Prusa original parts, at least the fans, are made in China anyway.
