20% and 19,6% it's a no big deal.

The important part is if one can deduct the VAT or not.

Most people would not and that makes that the real price is between the without VAT US price and customs costs and the with VAT European price, and in the Europe, if one is in the euro part it can be one price for the main object, and if not in the euro part it can be another price as we have seen above.

Final, the transport. Just a no direct example:
I paid 15 euros for the transport of my Cybook and leather case from France to Portugal,.
Yesterday, and for the fun of it, I checked the price of B&H in the US to send the Sony prs 505 to Portugal, and that is 51 $US for the cheapest option, or 40,72 euros.
