    Hello.
    I read various articles about purchasing from China and the possibility of paying VAT and duty.
    Duty is paying for products more than 150? and VAT perhaps from 50?
    I bought glasses for PLN 72 and today I received information that my package was cleared, does it mean that I will still have to pay customs duty on this amount? Even though this package should not be cleared because its price is too low. I also chose a free shipment because I read that by choosing a courier company there is a greater risk of paying the customs duty.
    Can someone explain it to me?

    A month ago, I ordered a Curtis DC motor controller. Cost $ 134 with shipping, and after 2 weeks a letter from Customs came. There was a questionnaire to complete: purchase price, purpose and request for a screenshot from the auction. I sent everything truthfully and received a notification about adding VAT ... I paid, I did not discuss, the cost of the entire business was 161 $, and it's still cheaper than buying this driver in Poland (about PLN 2,500)

    It is necessary, you have to, but I was surprised that there is also a customs duty with such a low amount, the more so because in every article they say that there is no.

    Hello. Again, today glasses came at no additional duty costs, which is as it should be.

    Well, I also have the status '' Customs shipment ''. I saw that the date of delivery of your parcel on the screen was 27 Nov-03 Dec is this telling the truth? What happens after this status is cleared? My parcel delivery date is Jan 20-26.

    Nothing, I bought chips from China a few times, I also had such a stamp. As long as you do not receive information from the Customs Office, there is nothing to worry about.

    As the author, I will add that, after all, the message about the duty of the package, nothing came to pay. After receiving this message, the package was already at my place a week later.

    I did not get anything. I do not remember what it was sent, but if by post, then they say in an SMS that a package with no xxx was sent and this number is the order number from ali.

    Maybe "intern", he put it wrong, the point was that the parcel had passed through customs.

    I have already received a text message from the Polish Post and now I have a problem. On the Polish Post website I went to the postage tab and '' Pocztex Kurier 48 '' and it wrote there that parcels sent by 3 p.m. are still sent on the same day, and today I received a text message from the Polish post office at 12:57 that the parcel has been posted. My question is whether the package will reach me on Friday? Still this week? Only that the Polish mail tracking only shows the status that the parcel has been sent and the SMS notification has been sent, it seems they have not sent it yet. Will someone tell you what it is about? The form of my delivery is Pocztex Courier 48.
