there is a customs and tax section on boards somewhere, and calculators on the net.

Generally anything I get from the states I never get charged customs on once it's shipped via USPS, if it arrives with DHL or Fedex then yes, and they are more expense as they charge admin charges ... Fed-Ex charge €10 admin, plus the charges and then their own 21% vat on top of that.

Also if you buy an item on sale shall we say from $200 to $50, the seller has to declare the market value so to them the market value is $200 and will put that in the paperwork, so you get charged on $200 instead of the actual $50 that you paid. That has happened me a couple of times when buying stuff in sales from the states!

Based on what they (ETA: they, meaning FedEx) charged me last week, I calculate €25.60, based on a rate of 1.23 dollar to the euro.

13.40 VAT (21% of €64) + 10 admin + 2.10 vat on the admin.

It's less than €120 total costs so you are not liable for customs duty, on VAT.
