Claiming back VAT on imported Shoes

Guys,
I managed to wrangle free football boots for my U12 team. This was done through a contact and the boots were send direct from China via UPS. I got hit with €70 on receipt of the delivery. I thought that there was no vat applied on shoes. Am I right? Can I get this back?
Thanks

Red highlighting is mine. Perhaps the exemption does not apply to a bulk import which might be assumed to be a business shipment?

This might well be customs clearance fees + VAT levied by the carrier which you probably can't claim back as they are usually the responsibility of the consignee.
