Strange... My post-app says I have to pay $25 clearance costs for the import of goods into the European Union... Thats new to me. How do customs know what's in my mail? I hope they don't know what's in there.

Anyone had this before? Mail is from Indian vendor

 
thats weird, you gotta pay another fee to someone else just for them to deliver mail into your country? maybe with all those terror alerts some new thing? 

 
I'm also from Europe , have never heard from this.

Mostly i order from a Philippine vendor who not send as packing but as letter never have any problem.

 
Please do not describe your packaging if you want to continue to get them.  Always assume LE is going to be reading your post.

 
maybe its being delivered by a 3rd party carrier that picked up the package that is probably outsourced by your regular mail company to deliver foreign mail? 

 
Well, my vendor says it's very strange. He has never had that.

But, it's the law. Because I import 'goods' into the European Union, the postall office is obliged to declare my mail with customs and I have to pay taxes for importing into the EU. 

I can challenge this. However, then they have to check the goods and estimate it's value. I don't think that's a good idea.

I will just pay the 20 Euro's. Mai will arrive this afternoon

Taxes = BTW?

Well, it's called 'Inklaringskosten' and its a sum you have to pay to the postal office because of the handling of the mail and the administrative expenses that are made, e.g. costs for customs, BTW-taxes and import levy. 

It's very normal, because that's EU-law. However, I have NEVER had this before. Indeed. Customs think I ordered something that is of some value and to import it I have to pay for it. Main question is: did they open it or didn't they.... /default_smile.png Will see, my mail will arrive within two hours now. 

 
To be honest: I've never heard about that before.

In Switzerland they sometimes charge the WUST (BTW), but for handling

was originally paid at point of despatch.

Or...is that the new way to make money out of the illegal imports instead of sending them back?

My post was not directed at you but at Duvel right above my post.  I didn't want to quote his post and then have it posted "again".  I should have quoted and just X out the descriptive part.  Duvel, we don't mention where vendors originate from and especially don't describe packaging!!!  That is my vendor too and I want to continue to receive.

 
OK! My present was delivered. I had to pay 20 EUR to the postal guy, he then gave me a bill. It's from customs and I have to pay it as a IMPORT LEVY for the import of NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS.

So that's the deal. You buy scheduled medicine from outside the European Union and, consequently, you have to pay a levy for it... Crazy world.   

 
I'm glad that turned out okay Gyre, alarm bells were ringing for me just for a tiny moment lol

 
GYRE, first thing I thought was by paying this fee you'd essentially be " signing" your name to EU customs by agreeing you wanted, accepted and were aware of the package contents- IM VERY GLAD I was wrong and YOU got the package! GREAT news!

  14. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @AnnaSofia - Your name came up right away. I checked settings and couldn’t see any that seemed like they’d affect SB. Good to see you too!
  15. IndigoVault @ IndigoVault: Hey people, my privacy settings are totally whacked I am hiding from my mother 🧑 in law but please forgive me, just wanted to drop in and say hello, and thank you
  16. A @ AnnaSofia: @WTF7218 your name didn’t pop up as I started to type it in SB. Maybe it has something to do with privacy settings like some people don’t accept DMs and whatever else is in the privacy settings. There’s nothing related to SB in there but maybe if you check certain settings it carries over to SB? Who knows, but good to see you :)
