Has anyone else had any issues with vat, import tax etc when buying through alibaba?

A couple of months ago I bought a led from alibaba, a few days ago I received a letter saying that I've got £61 to pay FedEx ???

How do I stand?

Can I ask what was the price of led and shipping.

Belgium is strange also. Every time I mail my brother something their. Customs evaluates the value of it and he has to pay taxes on it

Originally it was £130 posted to the UK before import duty/tax, I've since found them here in the UK for £150/160 to my door, + Uk return address and UK warranty.

I must be clear the issue was with the courier...

Edit... Turned out to be a real bargain that one
