....should be around 6.50 VAT, but they may apply a duty rate prior to
adding VAT to the total - ask how they applied the duty, and at what
rate !

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
That's where I got screweed on the Jap CD. Never used that option again.
