The Germans charge not only that 19% tax but some other shipping taxes too! It is total nuts.

That was before I started working with the US Army. Now everything goes to my APO and I am tax exempt. IF you live in the EU and buy from another EU country... I think you are ok tax/customs wise.
Thanks Dack. Just strange that in US everything almost 2x cheaper than in EU. For example Breyton GTS-r wheels in Germany it's 1300 EUR in US 1100$ I know in my country tax is 10% for customs and 21 VAT so I would have to pay 31% of tax. Just interesting would be if anybody tried to buy it like a GIFT with tax free...
