To Dutch people...

[Rasteirinho]

Hi,

To the users which live in the Netherlands:

Do you pay taxes for non-EU goods? For example, when you order something from USA or Japan how much you pay to customs services?

In Portugal it's about 30% of the total cost, if it costs 1000€ (800€ the item + 200€ of shipping) i have to pay about 300€ of taxes.

Since my girlfriend is working in Arnhem maybe it's cheaper to send the parts to her adress...

Thank you for your comments...

Regards,
Pedro

we have to pay 19% over the item's price AND transport costs.

Hey Pedro,

Importing into the netherlands is cheaper then. I have to pay a total of 23% tax and if you are lucky, they dont check you package and you wont have to pay. I think a ratio of 6or7 to 10 they check.

dont forget 4% import costs. 19% is only BTW (VAT)

EDIT: 4% -> carparts!!

all those taxes. man.
I guess its can cost a boobie load.

I remember sending some simple AE86 parts and the extra fees started to add up. I guess that hard thing about people living in many borderline coutries.
