Large customs bill as a result of incorrect documentation
I placed an online order to be shipped to the USA and was aware that I would be responsible for any applicable customs duties and taxes. However, Stella Nova incorrectly declared the value of my purchase to FedEx as $425, even though I had paid $160.
This incorrect declaration resulted in a customs bill of $170. I contacted Stella Nova about the mistake, but they have refused to offer even a small amount of compensation or acknowledge that the incorrect declaration was their error.
I have no issue paying the customs charges that legitimately apply to an international purchase, but I do expect the seller to provide accurate customs documentation. Unfortunately, Stella Nova has been unwilling to take responsibility for the additional cost caused by their error.
