I am in Texas and ordered something from Europe.
It is being shipped via DHL.
I got notifications (via text and email) that I need to pay an additional $40 for an import duty, and if I don't pay it within 5 days or so, the item will be shipped back.
Is that legit?
I was charged shipping up front, so didn't know why this was something additional, and didn't want to take any action until I looked into it.
I don't think I've had to do that in the past when receiving something from Europe, but it's been a while for me.
Thanks for any insight.
