I only mentioned the VAT - or import tax as it's stated on the receipt. I paid a tiny amount of duty - 5.70 DKK to be precise - then 433.70 DKK in import tax for the Kindle and a standard Amazon cover, and finally 187.50 DKK in service charge to DHL. The import tax of 433.70 is roughly equal to 25% of the price of the Kindle + cover.
