Package stuck in customs due to tax - receiver contacted but refusing to engage

|

Hello, my package has been stuck at customs for over a month. I brought clothes from an online company, but had to return them due to wrong sizing - for a full refund. The clothes arrived in China, but Customs held them for tax reasons? Customs have contacted the receiver twice - so they can release the item to them. But the receiver is refusing to do that - telling me they don't have clearance to contact customs. They won't provide me with a refund until they receive the items. Is there a contact email for customs - so I can contact them and find out what needs to be done for the package to be released?

I am returning an item back to China but it is stuck in customs awaiting for the receiver to pay customs tax. The company (receiver) did not give me a phone number to put on the customs declaration form until after I sent it. It is now stuck in customs and the receiver is claiming that they cannot do anything until they receive a phone notification about it. I have contacted my postal company to try add a phone number to the customs declaration, but they informed me that this was no longer possible from their end. Additionally, they said that it is not mandatory to add a phone number, and that the receiver should have received a letter notice to the address. I also added an email to the customs declaration before posting it. Is it possible that the notice would of been sent to the email address they provided?

How can the receiver contact customs to clear up this issue? I can provide a contact number that the receiver sent after I sent the package as well as any other information that may be required.

Thank you.

This is quite frustrating now.
Package EH027948155NL was known to be stuck in customs and awaiting tax payment. I contacted the receiver and apparently they were told they needed the logistics carrier to contact customs to advise what was in the package even though I sent it with the customs form. What are the contact details of China customs so I can try sort this.
