Standard cut and paste reply received.

If your item of mail requires a taxes due payment the delay will be an
additional two to three working days the exception to this time scale would
be industrial action, airport closures and the seasonal periods when the
delay can take up to one week.

HM Customs raise charges (import and excise duties and VAT) on packets
arriving from abroad that contain dutiable goods. Royal Mail collects
customs charges and an additional clearance fee from the addressee. Royal
Mail's clearance fee contributes to the cost of the administration and
handling of these items and the payment to Customs of their charges on
behalf of the addressee to speed delivery of the packet. The Customs
clearance fee is £8.00 for each letter post item, Small Packet or bulk
postbag.

Royal Mail cannot advise on general Customs matters. Please contact the HM
Revenue & Customs National Advice Service on 0845 010 9000 or visit the web
site www.hmce.gov.uk if you need more detailed information regarding:

. Commercial and Pro Forma invoices
. VAT
. Certificates of Origin
. Movement Certificates
. Invoice Declarations
. Import and Export Licences
. Customs charges on mail arriving in the UK

So now you contact HMRC and ask them to set up an alternative?

had another parcel come with a greater value, yet was delivered normally.

if customs are only going to randomly inspect parcels then why bother at all?.

how much duty is the revenue losing.

if all packages were held and checked RM would then be charging more...
