That sounds like you`ve been "done" to me, unless the parcel was sent
"express" by the sender - per their site:
"We have two levels of clearance fee for import parcels. There is a
charge of £13.50 for express parcels imported through the EMS (i.e.
International Datapost equivalent) and GLS (i.e. Euro 48 equivalent)
networks and also for high value standard parcels (valued at over
€1000). For all other import parcels, an £8 charge will apply.
These clearance charges are only applied if a duty or tax is payable on
the parcel."
