I recently received a gift from a friend in Thailand. I have just had a bill from UPS today for £35; £11 disbursment fee, £8.78 duty amount and £15.51 vat. The gift only cost the equivalent of £30. Is this correct ? I’ve received gifts from abroad before and never had to pay anything. Why now ?

you dont have to pay duty on gifts, get your money back.
I had to pay a £12 fee from India because the sender put on the parcel ‘religious item’
Duno why you’re getting charged SO much.Question it!!
As the monkey spanker said, you don’t pay import charges on gifts. It should have stated on the box that it was a gift..x
