How much can customs tax on electronics?

[Deleted User] · 2018-10-13 23:04:39

Hey, I've bought a Xiaomi Mi TV for 57€, 7€ for shipping & 2€ for insurance off of GearBest. DHL are asking I pay 43€ on import duty/tax. Is this right for it to be that high? https://www.revenue.ie/en/importing-vehicles-duty-free-allowances/buying-of-goods-online-for-personal-use/buying-goods-from-outside-the-eu.aspx…

There is an item on the website given as an example, and the item is 150€, but the tax for that is 45€.

Any idea? Seems a bit silly for it to be that high!

Thanks,

Andy
