I'm talking only about the admin charge, not the taxes themselves. As I
said, I don't mind paying the taxes, it's only the admin fee that annoys.

I don't think carriers should charge their own extra fee to get
something through Customs. It's like adding an extra quid if the van the
package is on has to go over the Dartford Crossing, or something.
