The *free* MtGox YUBI key might not be free afterall. Idiot me.

Sent with EMS.

From the package:
VALUE: 29.99 USD
COUNTRY OF ORIGINS OF THE GOODS: Sweden

From the Danish postal service import reciept:

Value in foreign coin/Total value: 286 DKK
VAT on imports (25%): 71 DKK
Total tax: 71 DKK
Import fee: 128 DKK
VAT on import fee (25%): 32 DKK

Total: 231 DKK

Stupid tax...

The import fee is from a private company, not sure if it is EMS or someone else.

I called the Danish Postal Service costums department. She thought it was weird that it had not been sent as a gift. If I can prove - and I can - that I didn't pay for it, I can send a mail to Tax department and have them review the case.

Sigh.

I'm gonna do that.

In Norway, the rules are:

Goods with value < NOK 200: No VAT
Goods with value > NOK 200: 25% VAT calculated from (value of goods + freight). You also have to pay a fee to the company collecting the VAT.

Gift with value < NOK 1000: No VAT
Gift with value > NOK 1000: 25% VAT calculated from (value of gift + freight). You also have to pay a fee to the company collecting the VAT.

1 USD = 5.92 NOK

I transferred some money to MtGox and after I had the opertunity to get a free YUBI key for extra security. "Nice", I thought and ordered it.

Weeeeeell. I forgot everything about import tax. I thought the "free" yubi key was sent so it's free to recieve. I should have read the small fine print.

Anywho, I ended up paying 40USD/25GBP/31EURO import tax for this free YUBI key.

Idiot me.

Well I just ordered my free Yubikey. Luckily my country does not have import taxes for electronic goods like this. I'm from Malaysia.

I recieved mine a while back and the finnish authorities did not bother charging me.
