ridiculous tariffs

Recently bought a jacket from the UK with an FOB value of R832. Received an invoice for R 965 .I mean that's a joke right. I was charged R374 (excl . vat ) for customs duty.. Thats 45% of the FOB ? ? According to the tariff code it should be 20 % . Also an agency fee and documentation fee of R360 (excl . vat) ? Is martin shkreli running this place or what ? When i asked the agent about the costs, she managed to reduce it to R760 without an explanation of how and why?

Dear Fatima

We are so sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Unfortunately, Customs Duty is not a charge made directly by Dawn Wing. This is a cost that is given to us from Customs. We are so sorry that you felt that this cost was unreasonable.

We are glad our agent was able to negotiate a better rate for you, and sincerely apologise for the confusion caused.

Kind Regards,

Dawn Wing

Best regards,
