Yesterday, I recevied my 5kg package from DHL. I paid 12.5KD for duties, for these fees:

1. Stamp Fee – 1 KD
2. Global Clearing System charges – 3.5 KD
3. Bayan Fee – 5 KD
4. National Aviation Services – 3 KD

and 26KD for DHL. What I thinking there is something wrong and I don’t know this wrong from DHL or Kuwait Customs. In January, I received a shipment and they considered it as a commercial quantity, so I have to do the declaration process by myself. I paid more than 50 KD to declare a 500$ shipment and It was commercial quantity. But, in my DHL shipment I think the customs started to deal with each shipment alone, not like the old days .. all shipments are one shipment in the papers.

As I know, no taxes for personal shipments, but what the hell with customs? Because when you order something to your mailbox here in Kuwait, you get it for free .. and they just call you to pick it up from Kaifan, but the problem I can’t trust them because of my friend and his 600KD UNSEEN shipment.
