WTF... FedEx is trying to charge me extra fees that are about the same as the total value of the imported goods because there was several different items ...
I mean yeah it was a LCSC order with like 14 different components, total 80 EUR or so and they want an exta 76 EUR or processing fees for the multiple items !?!?!?!
(In addition to the 25 EUR VAT but that I expect ...)

So apparently you pay 12 EUR base fee + 8 EUR per line items starting at the 6th one. Line items are not the line items of the original invoice, but rather any unique combination of the tuple (HS_Code, Country_Of_Origin). So I had 9 types of connectors, using the same HS code, but some from US and some from CN so that counts as 2 lines items. Then some electronic components but even if those have the same HS Code, because they come from CN,US,TW,KR,MM that counts as 5 line items.

@tnt@chaos.social This is also the case with DHL Express FYI but probably any major carrier
