UPS asking for obscene import fee 4k CHF!

​

Hi all, i have been living in switzerland (canton aargau) for a year now and have recently decided to ship my personal PC to switzerland.

I filled out an 18.44 and attached it to the parcel while shipping (well my sister did haha) - i presumed this would he enough to cover it as personal belongings and be exempt from vat.

After about a week i have recieved an invoice of 3707 CHF, valuing the goods at 44k CHF.

I was wondering if anyone knew the process of disputing this, since the pc is worth no more than 500 chf and its a number i really cant afford.

Thanks for any help, any and all will be very useful!

I think my first genuine reaction to this would be that it is 100% a clerical error.

On the box sizes i think they had predefined weights, 21kg was the one i picked and wrote haha.
