They just cheat you because they do not operate a customs clearance service at the Gothenburg airport. The regular customs office refused to accept their documents and moreover, the two of the service personnel mentioned that I am not first one to be cheated by PIA services, since the office they indicate as the customs stamp office within the Gothenburg airport is NEVER open! I emailed them with a complaint, they responded that they are well aware that the customs office that needs to service their documents just does not exist but nevertheless they refuse to pay what they owe. Scammers!
