These are customs and Customs clearance and brokerage fees guys...
FedEx is not the problem. Customs in your country charges the VAT & D&T... FedEx actually fronts the charge (rather than places them on hold until you come down to pay the fee in person) and then recoup the charges with you. There is definitely a customs clearance fee involved. This pays for the time and labour that goes into getting this through customs in your country. FedEx will also eat any D&T charges under $5 because it's not worth the time and effort to try and recoup this money.
I'll be more than happy to help answer any questions at all on questions you have.
I'm a Corporate Sales Prefessional for FedEx in Los Angeles area. It's my business and I'm glad to offer assistance and clarifcation for any questions... after all, we're in it for the love of Supe's!
Just keep in mind, When it comes to International shipping... The Government always needs their cream. Try shipping a Laptop computer into brazil some time if you REALLY want to see some taxes. 350% VAT!
