It is liable for tax and duty. It just depends of customs stop it or let it through. Sometimes they think it's a cheap DVD that is below the €22 tax limit and don't bother checking.

If they stop it they will let you know and ask for proof of value so they know what to charge you in tax. It will be 23% of €34 plus a handling fee.
