Import/customs duties when buying goods online

The €44 should be broken down in your bill. eg (((Goods + P&P) + Duty) + VAT) + (Handling change + VAT) etc = €44.

Breakdown is:

VAT = 27.30
Other Charges =13.50
The Vat on other charges @ 21.5% = 2.90

So total is Euro 43.70

How can this be if the goods pre delivery cost me € 53.00

As i said I would have purchased in Ireland but not to be got here and Santa waas the reason.

Is there anyone I can query this to ?
Thanks

Surely there is a phone number, email address, street address or something on the bill you received?

I received a letter from them recently wanting me to email on a paypal receipt before they released my goods - I was not over the 22 euro limit so I was not liable for any charges but the email address was:
dmc@revenue.ie

and I had to quote the parcel number they had assigned to it.

Thanks.

Rang UPS just now.

The charges are based on the goods USD 80 + the cost to transport the goods USD 60.

I can understand being charged the duties on goods one can get here but to be charged on goods that I could only locate in the USA is a bit rich.

Should have tried to source them maybe in the UK (no duties) and this will never happen me again.

The VAT and charges are on the full cost of the goods and the postage combined, not just the goods as you might expect.
Unfortunately that amount sounds about right.
