Hi and welcome
Amazon will sort out all the VAT questions when you order from abroad so everything is paid in advance, if that includes custom fees I'm not sure.
You can certainly put up non drm books on the Kindle that doesn't originate from Amazon but they need to be in a format readable by the Kindle, one such format is the
mobipocket format.
If you've got a lot of stuff in the .epub format you can convert the files with
Calibre to .mobi and then transfer them to your Kindle.
Look here for more info on formats supported:

The original Kindle supported only unprotected Mobipocket books (MOBI, PRC), plain text files (TXT), topaz format books (.tpz) and Amazon's proprietary DRM-restricted format (AZW). Version 2.3 firmware upgrade for Kindle 2 (U.S. and International) added native Portable Document Format (PDF) support.[25] Earlier versions did not fully support PDF, but Amazon provided "experimental" conversion to the native AZW format,[63] with the caveat that not all PDFs may format correctly.[64] It does not support the EPUB ebook standard. Amazon offers an email-based service that will convert JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP graphics to AZW.[65] Amazon will also convert HTML pages and Microsoft Word (DOC) documents through the same email-based mechanism
