VAT ( tax)

[vazful]

So there is this giveaway but since i live in Europe the VAT exists here. And my question is: how is the system going to calculate the prize of the product? Can someone explain that to me plz? (probably someone that lives in EU and knows).

It will depend on the exact country, even within the EU.

Normally, a custom declaration must be made at the border (this can be done by the carrier, or the customs may hold the goods and notify the recipient that (s)he needs to make the custom declaration to receive the goods). Judging by what he says in the video, the goods will be shipped with a declared value. In principle, that's the value used to compute VAT and import duties. If the custom authorities suspect this figure to misrepresent the value of the goods, they may have to assess the real value, charge taxes accordingly, and probably even some fine. But it would have to be a rather extreme case, I believe.

Once it happened to me that the post did everything, and they just charged me the taxes when delivering the shipment.
