TIA Moment with Kenyan Customs

I'm really struggling with a TIA moment right now. I have a package from
family sitting with customs in Nairobi. They want to charge me almost $200
USD b/c there are 5 Master Lock padlocks in the box. They cost $10 each in
America. Yet they 'looked it up online' and are convinced that these are
made of gold.

While these locks are nice and when found for sale in Nairobi, they are much
more expensive than the cheap Chinese crap, they are not gold.

Africans: What are your TIA moments like in America?
