Hi all,
Watching all the LTT channels for the past 5 years now, loving the content.
So I purchased the CPU Pillow 50x50cm paid 69,99 dollar for it plus 19,99 dollar shipping and 18,90 dollar taxes.
I do have to say the pillow is really nice, soft and looks very stylish in my living room!
Took a month to get to the Netherlands, but when it got at the postal service they send me another invoice for taxes. They from the postoffice kept telling me i paid for US taxes, and not theirs which is 21,55 euro (Inklaringskosten).
So i looked at the track & trace and saw it went from Vancouver to Los Angeles and then to the Netherlands.
As far as I know and can find online you only have to pay taxes from origin to destination and not when a package is transfered between planes in another country.
So in total i now paid 135,86 dollar to get it delivered which is about double the original price.
The post office is basing their decision on https://www.lttstore.com/pages/customs-duty-fees
Can anyone explain if this is even legal, or how i can prove that i paid for the correct taxes.
If it's normal how do i get US taxes back because i don't think I need to pay these
Thanks for the help, looking forward to replies
