Basically my brother told me anything that comes from america to europe i need to pay customs on it.But he knows this from airsoft guns.Is it the same for everything?Ordering from lizardlicks btw

Yes, anything that comes from outside Europe has added charges, although it's possible you could get away with, you won't know unless you try.

Anything with an invoiced value below 22 Euros is of "negligible value" and does not attract VAT/duty. Above 22 Euros then yes. Whether you will actually be charged can be a bit of a lottery.

PS don't listen to any BS you may hear about marking it as "gift" - they're not that stupid.

Its normally 21% + e5 handling fee i think.
I've yet to pay for parts from http://www.akihabarashop.jp/
If you ask them to mark it as gift, you can receive it customs free upto e45.

Just make up an order, go to check out, and go all the way through the steps.
It'll calculate it for you.

It depends on the size and value i think. Also its abit of a lottery .
