Convince me your average customs agent isn't a scumbag that extorts money for already paid and owned goods for ransom? When you pay for and item, and its postage and handling, some POS holds your legal ware for ransom at customs requiring innumerable fees or they keep your paid for property legally.
Broker's Fee/HVCC GST as service component on Brokers Fee (By extension they waive liability of lost property, which is the only job of a broker ffs) Stamp Duty GST as Goods tax component (on both value of items and p/h, because apparently postage isnt a service but a physical obejct in the parcel) VAT (suck my dick, already paying GST) EEPC (Electronic Entry Processing Charge) + Other disguised Charges (clicking send email to you so you can correct all their wrong details)
FOB (Free on Board) is meant to be 5% of item value CIF (Cost, insurance, and freight) is all-inclusive of item value + postage incase abos steal it and try to huff it or rape it. GST (Goods and Services Taxation) is 10% across the board Ausfalia gaylord tax introduced by John Howard the manlet.
Do you Ameribros ever have to pay 32% the cost of goods to receive an item you already paid for in full just so someone doesnt keep your property?
You are assuming its cheap Chinese crap, you are assuming what I purchased is available here, you are assuming if it is available the quality is comparable, you are also assuming it isn't exorbitantly more expensive to buy what I bought locally.
If I've made any assumption, it's because you didn't write a comprehensive paragraph. Perhaps if you focus on your writing skills instead of fellating a foreign economy these things wouldn't happen.
I have already paid for my legal goods, I have alrady paid for duties and postage to my address. By some arbitrary law change in 2018 I now have to pay several more fees above (see the original post) amounting to 32% of the total value of goods to receive my package that I already own. My package has been stolen by customs and held under ransom, or else they keep the items that I already own.

I should steal your car from you and say you can have it back for 1/3 of the redbook value.

Luckily the companies were willing to list it as something else for a much lower value and I avoided them.
Never forget that one time my item was stolen and I had to pay their extortion racket. Scum.
