just had a real nasty suprize from an order from the states that got mailed to me by usps
importfees (3% on items over 150 euro) , handling fees (of the shippingcompany 18 euro) , and taxes (21% on everything over 22 euro )
this in my case turned out to be half of the total value of the initial purchase (90 instead of 60)
its stuff like this that can realy mess up youre carefully planned budget
it pays to check these sort of things when ordering and keep te purchase price under 22 euro (free) per shipment (spreading the shipment over two packages wouldve costed me 11 dollar extra and no import or vat )
its even smarter to keep youre purchases within the eu
if anyone knows of a simulair company that sells these type of connectors in the eu i be verry thankfull
i had some items imported from china and these wherent taxed .... maibe i got lucky that time
