Ridiculous customs costs asked by DHL for NZ to European Union.
in Deluge Help
For a 52€ goods value from Synthstrom declared, DHL (very insistant) asks me 40.4€ of DHL management cost for going trough the customs. When there are free trade agreements between NZ and the EU since 2025....
SynthStrom, you are aware of this ?
12€ for a small package (where does that come from ? DHL ?)
8.4€ CS Charges ?
20€ Additional customs clearance fees (AV) (VAT incl.)
"This refers to the assistance provided by DHL Express to facilitate the efficient customs clearance of shipments through customs processes. This includes managing documentation, complying with applicable regulations, and processing duties and taxes."
Do you think that this is justified ?
