Rejected petition End the use of customs "Handling fees" by couriers delivering from the EU

The Government needs to regulate the handling fees charged by "brokerages" by capping them at a certain value for the parcel as currently the fees are extortionate.

More details

Currently handling fees that are pushed upon UK residents by courier companies are utterly extortionate making it impossible for small businesses who rely on a non-UK supply chain to make a profit from the goods they are selling to consumers in the UK.
