Yeah i am from the Netherlands also with the customs destroying your wallet. But i am pretty sure you also have like a area that it is allowed. For me if the item i bought is more worth then 22 Euros i will get import charges. What is the work around for this by just asking KBDfans to lower the item value below 22 Euro's and they also will probably change the description. I NEVER got caught with this buying from China. Customs just scan the item value and if it is lower then 22 Euro's they will pass it trough. Post office have to work very fast and probably aren't gonna open you package up and look up the item value only happens on very rare rare occasions.
