Yes, it's called a "c³o". Anything to do with technology, you have to pay more duty for it.
Years ago, when hand-held calculators were new in the US, they were practically unheard of in Poland and my dad sent us one to Poland and we had to pay an enormous custom duty on it and the thing wasn't even worth it. My dad got it for free!

VAT is standard in EU countries. Anywhere from 15-22%. UK its 17.5% on all goods (not food, books childrens clothing), buying from a EU country will show the VAT included.

On top of that there are customs duties.

So its not just Poland.

I bet 50 was a UPS processing fee. It depends what teh goods are different goods get different %age .

Its better to use the normal postal system (in the UK anyway) because major courier companies always collect customs/VAT whereas in the normal postal system, customs let lots of goods in free. Supplier has to mark down value of goods for it this to happen

It MIGHT be the same in Poland.
