RIDICULOUS FEES

I have received a package via DHL on 30 June 2020 and didn’t have to pay anything and now I just received an email and text to pay R1537.20 to release my new package. Tracking No.: ****852913. How are you expecting me to pay for this if I didn’t pay just a week ago for a package that was even more expensive than this??? They expect me to pay over 50% of retail value of my package, how are you charging me now but didn’t charge me last week? This is a huge ****!

Dear Yollanda,

Thank you for taking the time to post to us.

The calculation of Duties and Taxes depends on the value and commodity code of your shipment. So whatever value is declared on your supporting invoice that is what customs duty/tax is calculated on.
 
This management of customs duties is essential for controlling the flow of goods in and out of the country. We at DHL Express manage all queries from the customs authority on your behalf. Once your duty and taxes have been settled, your goods are cleared and we arrange for transit before final delivery.

Kind regards,
Akhona Mvuza
