Mzansi huns have been complaining about high customs fees charged for online purchases, as many are unaware of items that attract high duty fees and those that don't.
A babe could not share her high-duty fee for her online clothing order, so she posted on her TikTok account under her user handle @bae.mimmie.miles.
What she ordered and the customs fees paid
The hun shares three photo slides: one showing her Shein order with 11 items and a total charge of R1252; the next slide shows custom fees of R831.34; and the last slide is a meme showing a child eating lemon.

SA hun explains how custom fees are calculated
In another Briefly News article, a woman explained on TikTok that Shein and Temu duty fee charges do not depend on the day, month, or season one orders.
