Why do I have to pay duties and taxes?

Duties and taxes are imposed to generate revenue and protect local industry. You generally have to pay them at the time of import, before the goods are released for delivery. 

There are some reliefs for private importers (e.g. gifts, moving home) and for commercial shipments with country specific regulations.
