Now since the UK left the European Union, I'm only entitles a 22 euro item from the uk free of charge, or else there will come the tax police opening my stuff. I live abroad and never saw these things, in a country were the minimum wage is 650 euros a month, I do make more, but most people live with 650 euros a month and being taxed on everything , having all prices as the rest of the developed countries that make 3ooo euros a month, you do the math, it's sad…in Spain minimum wage is 16oo euros and all their prices from petrol to housing and groceries are cheaper than my neighbour country, and no one goes to the streets and try to change things, the most passive people I've met. A ck one perfume that no one uses anymore, rest of Europe 20 euros, Portugal 120. Sigh….
Doesn't the customs declaration say postage is already paid?! What the hell. So you would be paying postage from America again, for a package coming from no farther than the other side of the country.. How the hell one party ships and the other receives, if postage wasn't somehow paid by anybody?!
You can't have water on international flights departing here. Can't have a bottle of water, because terrorists can use them to make hydrogen bombs.
It does say paid but they still add it up with the paid items inside and make a sum of it, I know only in my country, it's surreal.
So in summary a friend sends me a gift paid for by my friend, and postage paid by my friend, they add all up, including the postage. Add on top of it all including postage and send me a 21% vat on top of it to pay, when my friend paid all of it, a country of thieves.
It would just be easier for me to send you money via paypal, and you buy what you want. The conversion from one currency to another is only $5 us.
And ps, I vape, Portugal is the only country that taxes nicotine for eletronic vapes, I vape 6mg of nicotine that would be 6 bottles of 10ml at 6 euro each, plus all the vaping flavors and base liquids. Which would make it cheaper to smoke it. Luckily I found an underground shop that only charges me 12 euros for my 6mg nicotine shot. But if they are caught they are in big trouble, I mean aren't we allow to vape also. Every other country no one charges nicotine shots only mine. In a normal country they just ask what's the strength you like, I say 6mg, and that us given for FREE with the whole set I would pay 12 euros. Now even with underground shop I pay 30. A regular by the book shop I would pay 60. That's the only reason um vaping, if that shop clothes Im not giving a penny to this corrupt government,
