UPS hand over to parcelforce and it's them that add that clearance charge *gits*. It's unfair in the legal sense of the word, duty and VAT are fair enough, you win some you lose some but the charge is like paying for delivery twice. The tracking system is a broken machine also, many people who order from states track their parcel on the UPS system to find when it hits the UK and clears customs they get a message of 'failed attempted delivery, returned to depot' or simply they lose tracking of parcel totally. This causes quite a bit of undue stress to the unwary. What happens in reality is that the parcel is held in customs until the agent (parcelforce) pay it, and then the tracking continues to be then updated on the parcel force site and not on UPS . Parcel force will hold the parcel at a depot until any charges are paid. A letter is supposed to be sent to the customer informing of any out standing duty that is due but that letter can take over a week to get posted if at all - this is after the customer has read the 'attempted delivery' notice and hasn't a clue where parcel is!
Sorry for rant, I posted about it on my blog ages ago and sooooo many people have commented on the same issues. http://www.stonefisk.com/index.php/2009/02/26/parcelforce-aamp-usps-tracking-and-impor
