Yes, and it was DHL. I've contacted Amazon and they are looking into it. I ended up paying a total of (the equivalent of) about 35 USD more than the 85 USD I paid Amazon in import fees deposit. It seems to be mainly the fee, that DHL claims, that makes it higher. I think Amazon only counted the duty and VAT - the amount of 85 USD fits roughly with 25% VAT.
Right now I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that Amazon will at least re-imburse me the deposit. Had all payment gone though Amazon they would have paid what the deposit didn't cover. They don't take any responsibility for any extra fees etc., so I can only claim my initial deposit back.
