Lol, what kind of accusatory post is this? You never asked?

The only things I ever order are games, books or figurines, and I don't remember how much I had to pay, but we get tolls in Sweden ALL the time. You don't in Germany? Hey, good for you, congrats. Why are you acting as if this is some suspicious shit? I have to pay tons most of the time when I import, regardless of where it's from, and I know several other people who do to, not just in Sweden.

Well your posts simply suck in this thread. Read them again.

You act like a smart-ass in the first.

You dodged the question when I asked you why you think that there are fees in a customs union. Your stupid answer "duh because I had to pay fees" is not very explanatory. I already assumed as much.

And in this post you don't even try to answer all of my questions. Is it really a toll fee you had to pay or maybe something completely different?
Who told you to pay it? Your local customs office?


It IS suspicious, HIGHLY suspicious. Maybe this link will help you:

"Online shopping from another EU-country

Goods bought within the EU do not need to be presented to Swedish Customs.

However, each country in the EU has the right to seize goods under certain circumstances for reasons of environmental protection and public health and security. Examples of such goods are arms, syringes, needles, medications, endangered animals and plants, wine and liquor."

My guess is that you order stuff from non EU countries or areas within the EU that aren't part of the European tax territory (like Guernsey or Jersey) and therefore have to pay a toll fee (in the case of Guernsey and Jersey it would be VAT and not a toll fee.).
Many British online retailers ship from these islands.
Otherwise I don't believe you one bit, but if you like to pay fees that you shouldn't be paying, more power to you.

Yeah, I'm the one acting like a smartass here. I did tell you exactly, and no, it was not from non-EU countries - I have received it from France, for example, and get tolled on it. You don't have to believe me, I don't really care, but this is reality. Have a nice day man, and chill out in the future haha.
