Strange... My post-app says I have to pay $25 clearance costs for the import of goods into the European Union... Thats new to me. How do customs know what's in my mail? I hope they don't know what's in there.

Anyone had this before? Mail is from Indian vendor

 
thats weird, you gotta pay another fee to someone else just for them to deliver mail into your country? maybe with all those terror alerts some new thing? 

 
I'm also from Europe , have never heard from this.

Mostly i order from a Philippine vendor who not send as packing but as letter never have any problem.

 
Please do not describe your packaging if you want to continue to get them.  Always assume LE is going to be reading your post.

 
maybe its being delivered by a 3rd party carrier that picked up the package that is probably outsourced by your regular mail company to deliver foreign mail? 

 
Well, my vendor says it's very strange. He has never had that.

But, it's the law. Because I import 'goods' into the European Union, the postall office is obliged to declare my mail with customs and I have to pay taxes for importing into the EU. 

I can challenge this. However, then they have to check the goods and estimate it's value. I don't think that's a good idea.

I will just pay the 20 Euro's. Mai will arrive this afternoon

Taxes = BTW?

Well, it's called 'Inklaringskosten' and its a sum you have to pay to the postal office because of the handling of the mail and the administrative expenses that are made, e.g. costs for customs, BTW-taxes and import levy. 

It's very normal, because that's EU-law. However, I have NEVER had this before. Indeed. Customs think I ordered something that is of some value and to import it I have to pay for it. Main question is: did they open it or didn't they.... /default_smile.png Will see, my mail will arrive within two hours now. 

 
To be honest: I've never heard about that before.

In Switzerland they sometimes charge the WUST (BTW), but for handling

was originally paid at point of despatch.

Or...is that the new way to make money out of the illegal imports instead of sending them back?

My post was not directed at you but at Duvel right above my post.  I didn't want to quote his post and then have it posted "again".  I should have quoted and just X out the descriptive part.  Duvel, we don't mention where vendors originate from and especially don't describe packaging!!!  That is my vendor too and I want to continue to receive.

 
OK! My present was delivered. I had to pay 20 EUR to the postal guy, he then gave me a bill. It's from customs and I have to pay it as a IMPORT LEVY for the import of NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS.

So that's the deal. You buy scheduled medicine from outside the European Union and, consequently, you have to pay a levy for it... Crazy world.   

 
I'm glad that turned out okay Gyre, alarm bells were ringing for me just for a tiny moment lol

 
GYRE, first thing I thought was by paying this fee you'd essentially be " signing" your name to EU customs by agreeing you wanted, accepted and were aware of the package contents- IM VERY GLAD I was wrong and YOU got the package! GREAT news!

  4. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  5. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  6. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.

  9. S @ sawganaut: I bet btc bottom is in
  10. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.

  12. xenxra @ xenxra: tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
  14. D @ dragnetopher: Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
  15. xenxra @ xenxra: @Gulp2788 this is a terrible spot to buy bitcoin haphazardly because it's going down another $5k -$7k if 80,000 doesn't hold. i told everyone to get the fuck out of bitcoin at $103k. it's better to buy late when the bottom is more certain than throw darts and act like the opposite outcome was unavoidable just because it went down "a lot" and everyone seems to be "freaking out". wait for it to get back over 85k
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: @aarons the last time i said monero was on discount in here it went up 5x in 3 months
  17. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: good opportunity to buy more btc if you are gonna do so imo, me I'm buying the btc to switch into better currencies
  18. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: bah politics, no need to worry BTC is a honeypot anyway
  19. fishladder @ fishladder: down since trump
  20. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: btc has been hovering around 90k for a year everyone is freaking out tbh I am laughing
