  • Duty and VAT based on the value of the goods so either it was bloody expensive or they've estimated the value pretty high. You can provide proof of the cost/value if it will bring the amount down.

  • I sent them a copy of the sales invoice already so either they're ignoring it or somehow justifying it based on the sale price. Irish government are notoriously sticky fingered though so I don't see myself making any headway on it. I don't feel so bad as I for the forks and shock for my Capra in under the radar and paid nothing for them ;)

    Anyway, I'm heading to the post office now to collect it!

    Edit:
    23% vat
    4.7% customs and excise duty
    €10 handling charge

    Have it though :)
