Wau. I have never bought a high value item outside of EU just because the Finnish Customs is so efficient in claiming VAT and duties from anything comin in outside of EU. I have sold a IWC to US buyer and had to declare the total value and separate value of the watch components(dial, movement, case, bracelet). Don't know if the buyer had to pay customs duties for that one. I have bought several cheaper items (straps, buckles) from outside and payed every cent of duties and customs for those. Kinda wished I didn't have to. But then again we do get alot of good stuff for the taxes/customs duties we pay.
