If you refused to pay the VAT for the bill, UPS was right to refuse to
deliver. If you refused to pay the import duties, it was screwed up by UPS,
not DK. UPS likes to screw up and overcharge.
Here in Germany, UPS does the Custom declaraion. DK for a long time
only wrote "Encoterm 2000: DDP" and not "Encoterm 2000: DDP (final
destination)" and so VAT was charged on some virtual shipping charge. With
probaly some intervention from UPS, things could have been resolved, but UPS
didn't.
It took about half a year until the IT department of DK reacted and now the
bill properly declares "Encoterm 2000: DDP Darmstadt". But even with the
right declaration for the last delivery, UPS declared it wrong and VAT on
virtual shipping charges were applied. But this time my claim was acknowleged
and UPS took over ther additional charge. I hope this has cleared up for
future deliveries.
