Hi Members.. I want to get parts from Aliexpress but would like to know the charges for import ...had an Android 10 apple auto carplay system delivered through DHL and wow they charged for everything even storage ..it arriver at DHL on a Friday and a storage charge was added plus other charges and delivered on Monday ..So who has obtained parts from Aliexpress and had to pay import ..What I am getting costs $400USD

Customs HS Code 8708.99.0000 "Parts And Accessories Of Motor Vehicles" will net you 30% duty plus 7% VAT on the CIF value ????

You could ask the seller if they can do "Thailand Special Line" which is a China-Thailand bulk shipping system which somehow makes for zero payment at this end.

 

I was offered it for a solar inverter, cost the same as FedEx but no duty or VAT to pay.

DHL do not charge for "storage" in a normal delivery and all their charges are detailed in the shipping receipt, can you post it here to show that "storage" charge?   Courier companies are authorised to charge import duty, VAT which the government gets, and a small disbursement charge that they keep, nothing else.  If a charge is not detailed on the receipt, it is not chargeable.

Aren't solar inverters zero rated for import duty?   Your link indicates that.

It was a while back but you are probably right, still saved the 7% VAT ????

They're not exempt from VAT, though.
