    That's the tax you pay when you live in Europe ;)
    Bahrain however... I only have to pay 7.5% and I have already confirmed that...
    It's still fine it's pretty much a tax free country like most of the GCC (middle east countries)... no income tax :p Wish I was in UAE or Kuwait, no import tax I think.. :D :eek:

    Not if you label it as 'gift'. Caus if grandma sends you a notebook for Christmas, you shouldn't have to pay import taxes, now would you ? ;)

    Usually people call that VAT (Value Added Tax). There are no import duties in the EU as far as I know of.
