If you want to dispute the customs charges you need to do it with HMRC

If you’re charged too much or return your goods
Ask for a refund of VAT or Customs Duty if you:

think you’ve been charged too much
Download and fill in:
form BOR 286 if Royal Mail or Parcelforce delivered the goods
form C285 if a courier or freight company delivered the goods
