In Norway you only start paying taxes if the value of the item exceeds $30, the shipping is not taken into consideration. So in this case the item minus the shipping is below the taxfree limit. However you're right that if the item exceeds $30 you pay taxes on both the value of the item and the shipping.
Stupid to pay taxes on the shipping but that's the way it is.
I thought we had it bad with a limit of 200nok 85dkk doesn't get you far.
It's been up for debate in Norway to increase the amount but no politician dare to change it cause of local merchants lobbying not to increase it.
