CUSTOMS AGENTS FEES
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2022 7:49pm
I was given a quote for packing and transporting 3 cubic meters of personal effects stored at my Mother's house in the UK to my permanent address in Spain. A company provided a quote which we duly accepted. After packing and removing the items, the company involved sent me an invoice which now includes an additional £250 plus £50 20% vat for "Customs Agents Fees" which were not listed on the original quote. When I challenged these additional Fees I was informed that it is "a separate fee for customs clearance for the EU by law". Is this correct or am I simply being overcharged.
