Got my motors in today.

I got a 1520 and 1717 = $65 + $70 = $135 = 101 euro
I had to pay an extra of 37 euro = $49!!
37 euro - 12.50 euro (handling) = 24.50 euro
24.50 euro is more than 19% of 101 euro (the product value)
But I paid $40 on shipping which is 30 euro
101 euro (motors) + 30 euro (shipping) = 131 euro * 19% = 24.50 euro!

So conclusion : The fags @ customs now also charge VAT over shipping costs!!

1520 : 48 euro
1717 : 52 euro
Shipping : 30 euro
VAT : 37 euro

Thank the lord almighty that the $ is relatively low vs the euro otherwise it would almost not be worth it buying from the US.

Please remind that despite the shipping and VAT charges it's cheaper to buy in the VS than buying here in the Netherlands. You have to sell a long in order to buy some spares for you car.
