What do you need to pay for customs?
Dutch customs:
Less than 20 euro = free
From 20 to 150 euro = 19% on top of the product value + 12.50 euro declaration costs
Above 150 euro = 19% on top of the product value + 4.8% on top of the product value and shipping costs + 12.50 euro declaration costs

In Germany we pay about the same, don't know about the +12.50€ though...
And the percentage added to the 19% for shippments over 150€ depends on what sort of stuff you order.
For example model cars made from plastic have an additional 3% afaik, but model cars made from metal have no additional fee.
Don't ask me what a collosal drunkhead the person had to be, who invented this system.
Package is still with customs.
Took them 8 or 9 days last time.
2 days to fly the package half way around the world.
Over a week for some bloke to check the invoice papers and put a label on the box with the amount of money the postman has to collect.
That's bureaucracy deluxe for you...
