Yeah, that is a bit high, but not out of range.  Its one of the reasons I use Fed-Ex, their custom fees are lower than UPS or DHL.

Ordered about $40,000 worth of mining equipment from Halong and DHL is stating I have to pay more than $1,200 in import duty taxes and fees! Is this right? I had no idea it would be this much. I live near the customs office, should I try to clear it myself? I’m in the USA.

Lol in my country you would pay over 10k for import taxes. So consider yourself lucky Smiley

If you live near the customs office then yes go and try to clear it yourself, but that would only take care of the fee DHL charges to operate as your broker.

You will still have to pay whatever the Duty and taxes are for importing to your state. Regardless that seems reasonable on a $40 000 order; it's 3% of the value.
