^ The customs and VAT are two different things, as Tompe said.
If the VAT would be over 10€ you'll have to pay them --> so I can calculate that electronics and such where we (in Finland) have 22% the order can be max 45€ (including shipping) to avoid VAT.
The limit for customs duties 150€ if I recall correctly. So any order less than 150€ but more than 45€ I pay VAT, but no customs.
Which is why I prefer to buy things within EU. No hassle with custom duties and the VAT is already included in the price.
