You can pay it and then appeal to HMRC IF you have genuinely paid too much or ask Parcelfarce to send reassess it based on real costs. Don't forget that they will add the cost of shipping to the value of the item too and they reply on the knobheads at Parcelfarce to calculate the value so more often than not if it's US Dollars they treat that as pounds and over charge
