MoldovAnn spent over two months waiting for a package to get delivered to her in Ukraine. Then, the Ukrainian customs demanded that she pay “$53 in taxes for $100 worth of clothes.” She writes about her ordeal [1] and inquires: “Anybody know what the heck is going on at customs? Can anybody explain to me who thinks 50% custom taxes are a good thing and why?”
