When you receive your kit, please add a note here mentioning what country it was shipped to and how much duty, tariff, VAT, etc. you had to pay. This will give me and others an idea of the 'actual cost'
thanks,

I paid 127 SEK VAT and 63 SEK in post office charges. Total 190 SEK.
My box says "educational electronic kit" or something, obviously I then got away with just 6% VAT instead of 25%. Odd. I'm not complaining!

as it came from "adafruit industries" the customes seemed to be very interested
and charged me 16% import sales tax on "computer accessories" = 45,58 EUR
i´ll try to get some explanations from them on monday, maybe there is a little
chance to reduce those taxes....
...beside that i am happy !
thanx limor & the team behind this exiting project !!!

#181 - Australia.
No customs, or taxes. turned up at my doorstep today unannounced.
If this is always the case, In future I suggest sending registered post to australia. parcel post can be pretty bad here if they're not forced to keep track of it, and registered post is only a few $$ more. much safer.
