    I live in the U.K and recently bought a lot of make up from the U.S and with no problem or charges. The second time for a parcel costing $1,000 I have been charged $220 in taxes, duties etc....

    I am pretty new to importing things so is this about right?

    Also why did I pay nothing on the first about a month before and then on the second.

    I need to know as its not going to be worth it.

    Thanks for any advice/help on this.
