You were lucky, I had to pay Handling, VAT and Duty!!
Got the duty back eventually - seemed the person checking it in couldn't be
bothered with the duty codes. Although the letter from customs made it
appear to be my fault that they had charged me.
I think it is the luck of the draw, and the larger the amount the greater
the chance that someone will ask you to pay. I was lucky with my K2 - was
not asked for VAT on that either!
