Just got cleaned out by customs

Holy shit, I don't know what Tapout did but they just tag teamed me with customs. Like $90 NZD in "charges".

That sucks. Not Tapout's fault really, but it still blows.

I actually have no bloody idea what happened.

Cos I've ordered from Sprawl and Nogi before and the orders have been of a similar size but this time, bang, I got stung bad. I'm just gonna bite the bullet and pay I guess

Yea,I had two packages come from SSF .the big one got thru fine,the small one was £9.87 in customs charges,but it still seems to work out a lot better than paying UK prices,plus the stuff isn't available over here too..

I don't know what "customs duty" has been charged. If it's GST, it's 12.5% here. But I spent like 320 and got pinged with 90 and it's like wtf?

I'm gonna pay it, but I'm at least going to find out what I've been charged. I think I'm at least entitled to that.

in canada you have to pay gst and a handling fee for all customs tagged items...not everything gets inspected or labeled by customs and what you are paying is taxes, import duty and a handling fee based on the information on the green tag that every exporter must affix to every shipment entering canada. hopefully you went through canada post as they have a reasonable handling fee but fedex, ups or purolator charge like an extra $35 handling fee on top of the gst and import duties
