But I was talking about VAT, not import duty. My point was that the composite rate applies to electronic delivery. If you paid DHL, then you are presumably talking about physical goods, and the amount you paid probably included VAT and import duty and a service charge imposed by the carrier for collecting the VAT and import duty.
