    Take a screenshot of the order from gearbest. If that says $20.00. Customs will usually agree.

    Anyway you should post this issue in Consumer issues.

    Just pay up so? What's the issue? You bought something outside the EU for 60 quid, and now it's time to pay the tax on it. At least that is what I can gather from your post, you mention 20 and 60 as the purchase price...

    Thems the rules. I learned the hard way. Now I don't order anything over €22 from outside the EU unless I'm prepared to pay customs. Sometimes it's still worth it. New rules are on the way that'll mean everything, even under €22, will be subject to customs.
