Oh, I thought if I was getting DVDs as a gift I'd have to pay a higher percentage in VAT. Our DVD player is formatted for region one, so that's ok.



Cool then.  At least you don't have to worry about that!

My uncle sent us some gifts for Christmas last year, even marked the parcel "gifts" and we still had to pay duty on it - about 25 pounds.   :(

Ugh. It's such a scam, isn't it. I know there are rules in place for a reason, but I sometimes think in general no one makes it easy for an intercontinental marriage to work.
