What? 30-40% fees on technic? Where do you live?

Yeah for some products, I pay more on import/custom fee than the original product. Sometimes I pay lesser than the 40% and sometimes I pay like 40-60% also. This varies every single time but yeah it is what it is.

That's a lot high, it makes almost impossible to have wish of buying some techs from another country.
There are only 18% fee on imported items where I live. OP you could to try ordering on tax free zone which is near to you (it may cause problems for you and receiver, depends on situation). I guess now you can't do anything to change fees if not worsen. Btw go in customs office, you lose nothing.

If you're buying from Amazon, you can apparently ask them to waive the fee after you place your order, they don't do it always but I did hear someone saying that they waived the fees for the person who had ordered. So guess will have to try that out.
But still 18% fee is no joke.

Of course no joke, that's pretty high especially for country with bad economics. Yeah, I remember now, one man who is from greece also told me that he payed 30-40% fee on item ordered from US.
What I want to know is following: Do you have to pay that percent after item's value will be higher than 500$ (for example) or you have to pay 30-40% in any way even if item worths 20$?
