i brought a lens from a company in hong kong back in march.
i brought it for £110 delivered and it arrived no problems,
then yesterday out of the blue i've recieved a letter informing me i have to pay customs and import tax (and vat) of £30..
i can't understand how they can bill me 3 months after i've recieved it, surely they would of billed me as it came into the country, before delivering the item..
is there any thing i can do about this?
