Normally this law applies to the whole EU, but I don't know why the german customs is so piggy. It didn't help to try to explain, that these unit are prototypes, evalboards... nothing. For them it's a self containing device with a power connector, a lan connector and a antenna connector, WITHOUT a CE-mark. They refused also to dismount the PSU and the TP-Link, to send me only the modules and the FPGA-Controller. They are not allowed to dismount and send in parts!
So try to ask Bitsyncom to remove these components and send again.
Already done in my Email to
info@avalon-asic.com. Now I'm going to open a support ticket and I will send him a PM here too.
But the main problem here is not the german customs, it's Avalon fault to provide a CE-mark, or to prepare and send it in a way, so it could legally pass EU customs.
