Hi there, I moved to China from Singapore about a month or so back. I've just been notified that my goods have cleared customs (after they sat in Shanghai for a month) I've been asked to pay 4525rmb for storage, 2000rmb for a tv thats worth maybe 1000rmb and a charge thats "Special Customs Fee" of 800rmb. My shipper can't explain the charges. I'm furious as to the storage charge as Shanghai customs held my stuff up, in the meantime, I've had to buy new stuff for my family. Is this a common thing with customs here? If I'd known it was run by the Mafia, I'd never have sent a thing... anyone thinking of sending their goods here should think twice. It seems Customs think of a number, any number... and charge it, because they know, with a container, the owner needs the goods and will pay. There is no contact that I can find to complain to. Not a nice introduction to the way things work here... I've been an expat a LONG time, but first time in China... stunned! Love it, but this leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
