There will be a customs charging not even if you ordered a single mobile.

Not 15 percent.

The custom duty is upto 30 percent of the total amount of each item.

@Arsal7 when purchasing from any online store like Amazon UAE, Cartlow UAE, microloess, they are only charging 15% VAT , as per your comment why customs will charge 30% when purchasing from eBay ?

Because you are ordering 10 items.

They can charge it.

And amazon is working in KSA, that's a whole new story.
