How much is the total cost of the toy including shipping?

I think they used the wrong tariff code.. Try to look for the tariff code for toys here http://tariff.customs.gov.my/

the code they used is for some weird item under 3926

here it is:

The item i bought is RM407, the shipping cost that the shipper charged me is 1930 yen, which is around RM70, but the freight charge in the screenshot is actually charges done by customs to DHL(clarified by customs). The customs even clarified that the HS Code in place is actually wrong for toys.

May I know, what is the best next course of actions for my case?

Action figures should have Tariff Code 9503.00.2100 which carry only 6% GST. You can ask DHL to re-declare as they proceed the declaration without your perusal.

the problem with them is that, they keep kicking the balls back to kastam and so forth. can i take any action against DHL for paying the import duty without my consent?
