Problem with item value on customs form

[Captain Haddock]

So, last week I sent a £13 pair of reading glasses to Ireland. When I was in the Post Office, the assistant asked me the value of the contents, and I stated £15. It has today arrived in Dublin.....with a request to pay some 45 Euro in import duty. The value on the customs form that I've seen is 154.62 Euros!!! I haven't a clue who this has happened. The package has, quite rightly, be refused in Dublin. I am going to the PO on Saturday to try find out what happened but is there anything I can do myself, online?

get it returned to sender and resend with the correct value?

[Captain Haddock]

The item was finally returned, with the original customs docket torn off.

get it returned to sender and resend with the correct value?

I flew over with it, eventually, Peace of mind.

Good news that you got them back. Perhaps in the future fill in the customs forms yourself - usually they pass you them to do so yourself and then you know there is no error!

[Captain Haddock]

Yeh, I'm convinced the local PO made the error
