Hi everyone, so I recently purchased few watch parts from eBay and it has arrived to my local post office. Now the thing is I don’t trust this postman, he is a literal piece of 💩. He is always asking for money whenever some official document gets delivered. He called and asked me to pay import duty on the parts that I ordered. I knew that some import duty would be charged when I ordered the products. Now my question is is there a way to confirm that the import duty that he is asking is correct amount and he himslef have not added some other charge that will go into his pocket.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks 🙏

I think it is around 42% and there will be a slip for that

I am okay with 42%. I think it could be upto 100% as well. I am just not okay with paying some amount that I am not supposed to pay i.e. amount that would go into his pocket
