Hello everyone,a question: if I find an item I like and at a good price but it’s being shipped from England to Italy, do I have to pay VAT or customs duties?Let me explain better:item price: GBP 433.33 (about 499.21)shipping costs: GBP 36 (about 41.47€)total: GBP 469.33 (about 540€) the seller, before confirming the shipment (super kind and totally honest, if only they were all like that), let me know that I’d also have to pay another 115€ for VAT and duties on top of the 540, can anyone explain how this works?
