The agreed rate for shipments being imported from Hong Kong is a base rate of £66.56 plus £8.62 per kilo.
In view of the above I can confirm that the calculation of the freight value on your shipment is:
£66.56 + (2 kilos x £8.62) £17.24 = Total Freight Value £66.56 + £17.24 = £83.80
I doubt it cost more than 1/10th of this price to ship - so what's going on here?

2kg!? Was this a flash from 1875 complete with powder?
I'm interested to know which parties 'agreed' the rates. I had a 'customs charge' of £10 on an item, with £10 admin for DHL. This was retrospectively charged. I was too busy, paid it and moved on.
I was convinced it was bullpong, but didnt have the time to fight it. I now only use UPS.
