TNT Customs Penalty ****

I have ordered some electronic components from China that should have been delivered on the 13 Nov 2017. I have called the on the 13th and asked what was going on I was told the package was stopped by customs. The documents needed was sent to them for customs clearance. On the 22nd Nov I received an e-mail stating there is a customs penalty charge of R500 . The reason was the documents was not the same as the suppliers declaration. This is a **** as the documents is the same as I got from my supplier. It seems like TNT is getting a kickback from customs to add penalty fees. As I can see on the complaints about TNT custom penalties this is not an isolated case involving TNT. I import on a weekly base from China/US/UK etc. and never had this problems with other courier companies.
