Play asia. com and VAT

Does anyone know if packages from play asia. com (think they come from Hong Kong) attract customs charges? If so how much and does it matter how much you buy to attract charges?

With PlayAsia, the general rule of thumb is to order one game at a time to avoid customs charges.

Currently the allowance for imports is €22. This is rising later this year (December, I think) to over €100 (can't remember the exact figure).
