The CBP collect import taxes. You never had to pay it because there was a longstanding rule called “De Minimis” which exempted all items under $800 from import taxes. the 2nd trump administration overturned the De Minimis rule (does not require congress AFIAK).
Usually, if you buy from a US reseller, you don’t pay it directly, but if you order directly from outside of the country, it goes through customs and you’ll have to pay it.
