In Sweden....We have to pay 25% of the amount in custom tax, not including shipping fees. If the package says "gift", you still have to pay 25% if the value is higher than around $63. And you have to pay a $16 handling fee. But all that is just if they actually check your package, most of the time they donĀ“t.All this is because in Sweden we have this tax called moms. We pay it on all all merchandise, food, everything. So when you purchase something from a country that does not have moms, like the US, you have to pay it when the item enters Sweden
So let me get this straight as I have never really thought of this as being considered fraud, other than thinking... oh, I'm just helping someone out! So let's say I sell X amount of ponies, etc from my sales. It is wrong for the buyer to then ask me to mark it as gift and lower the amount on the form to avoid custom fees? Because I have been asked to do this at least by 2 members here. I never knew it was considered fraud so I just did it assuming I was just helping out another collector.
I hope nobody else has to go through this! If you let us know the ID of this buyer, others can be protected!
There are lots of pony folks from the Netherlands here, hopefully they will be able to shed some light on it for you.I did find this that maybe helpful in determining your charges till then though.http://www.dutycalculator.com/help_center/Import-duty-taxes-when-importing-into-the-Netherlands/
