    You think?

    The beer costs about double what I'd expect to pay in Germany, and when you add in the delivery is likely to be the same price or dearer as shops here.

    If you get charged customs duty, VAT and excise duty it would be a lot more.

    http://www.revenue.ie/en/customs/leaflets/pn1179.html
    3. Consignments of Negligible Value

    Consignments not exceeding an intrinsic value of €150 may be imported without payment of Customs Duty, while consignments not exceeding a total value of €22 may be imported without payment of VAT. (Intrinsic value is the value of the goods alone, and does not include insurance and freight.) However, it should be noted in particular that there is no relief (from Customs Duty, VAT or Excise duty) under this negligible value provision for importations of tobacco, tobacco products, alcohol products, perfumes or toilet waters irrespective of their value.

    Has anybody heard of people being charged by customs on small amounts?
