Import Charges

So I bought something from switzerland and I knew it would have import fees on it.

It came via TNT and there was nothing when delivered, then a month later I get a invoice for £185 the value of the item is 500 swiss franc which is like £385 quid. Now I think they have over charged me personally. I think it should be like a £100 roughly at most.

Is there anyway I can argue this that its too much or am I gonna have to just pay it and be shafted?! I know i can't get away with paying nothing as they will just take me to small claims court if I ignore it.

Thanks in advance.

thats too much, never had experience importing to that country but seems like they tryna joke with you

What was it that you imported? And what was the declared value of goods, insurance and freight?

I'll tell you exactly

It was a monitor video recorder
Original value 500 CHF
GBP Value £368.70

I think postage was 98 CHF

Insurance says 0 on the form, tbh the forms are super confusing from TNT.

Also the item might be going back as its faulty, so where would that leave me too?

Bump before I accept it.
