    It's damn near impossible to determine what exactly the customs rate will be as information on the revenue website on this topic is difficult to decipher. One thing I do know is that the standard flat rate is 3.5% and you're likely to have to pay this one. That 3.5% is applied to the total of your goods, plus any local sales tax if applied, plus the cost of shipping and insurance. On top of all that then will be 21% VAT. You'll also have to pay a fee to the shipping agent who will sort all this out for you. That fee is normally between €5 and €20.

    OT, it'd want to be a quare good phone to pay that kind of money for it.
