    Hey i know this properly be covered alot over the years I just got a bill from TNT saying I owe them 30.20 here the break down
    item cost me £61
    £0.00 import duty
    £12.20 vat type(sales tax)
    £15.00 deferment process fee + £3vat on that
    Total 30.20

    I don't mind paying £12.20 as that standard vat for the item however the £18 for there fee I do mind paying for only due to them already being paid for there service from the saler

    Any advice be helpful

    don't pay it. Unless they request payment before you receive the item I just ignore those requests.

    I looked up how much TNT charge to deliver item same everything it worked out to be 860-1050 hkd which work out to be £75-95 pound so they got more then enough money from the ppl who sent the item as it looks like they ain't made any money spent more on sending it

    I'm fairly sure the last parcel force fee's I paid was about 6 or 8 quid, on 20 quid of duty.

    Asking more for the fee than the actual duty is taking the mick IMO.
