I'll pay import taxes and VAT.
There are no import taxes for miners in Europe. Only VAT.
I think he is talking about the handling fees from DHL/UPS. VAT is the most expensive part tho. Only problem is that you cant deduct it since you are nt the one who pad it :/
It's really up to each country.
In my case, for example, there are:
1.19% VAT
2.a % as a national customs tax, based on the type of the product and according to the TARIC EU table
3.a standard fee if you want the shipping company to represent you at the customs
