Customs fees / VAT
Hello, I bought a collectible item in Australia, bought for around €270. In the final price I paid 99 Australian dollars in VAT, but since the item is already in France I just received a text from Colissimo saying that I have to pay customs duties and VAT, €48. Is that normal? I’m a little panicked because it’s my first purchase from outside the EU.
