Hi
Just been stung today for a Customs charge from DHL, for a Band of Brothers boxset delivered in December.
I've been reading the various customs charges threads on this forum and one thing is burning in my mind.
I understand that I am liable for duty & vat on any imports that I (get caught) buying over the £18 threshold.
However when ordering from Amaozon.ca I do not recall authorising or entering into a contract with DHL to pay the charges for me.
As I understand the situation DHL have paid on my behalf without my authorisation and have then included an administration fee for handling on the invoice.
Could anyone clarify my position here (i know that I am liable for VAT & duty - fair enough)
