Customs scum

submitted by UncleDoug to Rants 7 monthsNov 13, 2024 10:01:47 ago (+15/-1)     (Rants)

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?

It's ironic that they're so good at stopping and fucking with packages but the border are like swiss cheese for "undocumented immigrants".

Stop buying imported garbage and support your own country's economy.

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.

The point is, it will be available locally if theres a need and imports are halted.

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.

Now you are making assumptions that this rant is about foreign economies and not how customs are holding my personal property for ransom.

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

So you would rather steal than do the White thing, eh?

Are you dense? Customs is an extortion racquet.

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.

Are you a mongoloid?

They think they're law enforcement too. They're just broads and manlets who are afraid of covid

Finally. Always used to piss me off when I did a large order for goods I couldn't get and there was an import tax.

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.

Of course it is.
