If your gift isn't at least 5 figgies then might as well throw it in the trash where it belongs

I sent you a pm last week but yes, I'd love them in digital form as well.

yes, hello. all inbound eu packages worth above vat cutoff, which is country specific but usually around 100 dollars or less, are subject of vat, to be paid by the recipient

Fedex and UPS charge VAT and any import duties and fees by default.

This is why you use regular postal services to sneak it by customs.

In my experience I my parcels get hit with import fees about 1/10 times so it's not so bad.

canada post not only charges you for the taxes on whatever the declared value is, but they charge you a fee for charging you a fee

i imagine you could send someone a package with a declared value of $gently caress and have it lead to some large tax bill, but the dispute process would probably make it go away quickly
