Okay so I am ordering a laptop from UK costing around Rs25720.00+ but I want to know how much the customs office will charge me. oh and the laptop is coming by DHL!

There's no Customs Duty to be paid for the laptop, only 15% VAT. So in your case, 15% x 25720 = Rs3858.
Please read the article on importing items to Mauritius to understand better the process.
If customs have good reasons to think your item is liable to tax and/or VAT, it will be held at the main Parcel Office, so no DHL won't be delivering it to your house.
DHL will record the price of the laptop with the receipt and on arriving in mauritius, you will receive a letter by post that your item has arrived. you will then pay 15% tax based on the price of the laptop.
you will pay this tax when you collect your item since every iten that you buy has to pass the customs
therefore the more expensive is your laptop, the more tax you will have to pay
