I spend todays evening reading through German and EU import laws... just want to share for any EU resident, since most of the rules are EU based, they should be the same(or near the same) everywhere.
1: You need seperate bill with your shipment(else the price will be guessed... based on the EU price)
2: As soon as you buy more than 500€ worth of the same stuff, you could get declared as trader
3: As long as you are buying under150€(lowest limit I found) you only have to pay VAT and no customs fees.
4: It could create suspicion to get the package rerouted by an induvidual(also there are a couple companies who deal with shipping problem for you)
And now the problems I found
1: You can only get an adress confirmation in Greate Britain(in the EU no one cares, as the Paypal accounts are safer :D)
2: If you have a bad drive, you have to pay for 2 times shipping, to get the drives repaired or replaced.
3: If the drives are not shipped, you maybe can't start a PayPal dispute.
I just want to share this with you, as maybe another EU resident already has some expirience and some ideas.
