I've never been clobbered for import duties excepting VAT (TVA/MWT). In France on small things that only seems to hit one in every two or three times. In Switzerland, I hear, where (IIRC) VAT is 8% as againt 20% in France (and something not far off in the rest of the EU) you --this is very Swiss-- get charged every time. Vive la difference! Suspect the Big Canton* may be more like Switzweland, Jörn? Michael * affectionate(?)
