[Empeg-general] Re: Charges for duty and tax

[Rob Voisey]

I tend to find that if you demand a ruling on such things, that ruling will be that everyone has to pay.  If some slip through without paying - I guess that's their good luck.

In this case FedEx have already paid customs, and there's almost no chance of getting that refunded (the appeals procedure takes months).  Your best chance would be to hassle FedEx into writing off the invoice, but they won't do that lightly.
