If my mom and I live in the same address and we receive 2 separate packages from the same seller, will it trigger custom fees?

Hi everyone!

Not sure if this is the right place to post. If not, please remove. Thanks!

My mom and I live at the same address. I ordered something from an Etsy seller in Europe (I’m in US) for a total of $690. My mom asked me to make an order for her as well, and her total was $780. When I made the orders there were no custom duty fees collected but after I remembered there’s an $800 import limit. Does this limit apply to each address or each person? I did make one order with my info and the second with my mom’s info so it is 2 separate orders with 2 different names, but same account (I used my Etsy account) and address. My question is does it matter that we live at the same address?

Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!

    Good lord at not using Walmart or Amazon. The items being not same recipient will trigger import fees on both
