Ok, I would like to get a zht effects pack from music123.com, but i've been told that when shipped from the US, customs charge 20% VAT. Is this true with music123.com or douse anyone know a europeen site with this pack.:)

You'd be charged nearly 25% on the item(s) and the shipping. There are plenty of European shops' links in the Resource sticky. Check em out.

It's 21% VAT and usually about 4% import duty, and it's true of any legitmate shop that's outside the European Union. In the EU, there's no duty, and the VAT is already included in the price.
