DHL from USA: Tracking claimed no hold up in customs but was charged tax (35e on a 400usd item)
DHL from Hong Kong: Tracking claimed no hold up in customs but was charged tax (50e on a 250usd item)
USPS/DHL from USA: Tracking claimed 5 day hold up in customs & was charged tax (50e on a 250usd item)
