Hi George, An Post charge €3.50 fee on top of the VAT. Spoke to An post customer service, waste of time, phoned customs only to get recoded message to email them! Phone call to Hatton's and hopefully they are going to sort it. I have copied the breakdown of charges from one of the emails but deleted the customs and tracking No's.
Regards. John
