Officially, anything with a value above some 10 Euros is subject to import tax. However, whether or not they "catch" your package and slam a VAT/import tax bill on it seems random, although I recon they go for the big packages foremost (wouldn't you? ).

They don't look for "big packets", they look for those where a value is declared. And right after that for those without a "value" or declared "gifts" .. and if they see something going from Shrapnel Games Inc. to Mr.SoNSo .. they immediatly suspect some commerical transaction going on

That said, the threshold for Import Tax and Import Duty e.g. in Germany is 22 Euro, and that should be the same throughout the EU.
On 1. Dec 2008, there will be a big change, though: the Import Duty threshold will raised to 150.- Euro !!

I'm not sure about the import tax, though, but I'll get me some more info on that - and if it turns out there's really something positive going on I'll post it to the forum.
