Remember no import tariffs

Something I find very annoying are extra/hidden cost. It's something that happens to the best of us. I never liked the fact of paying import tariff. It's one of the reasons why I haven't bought a lot from the web until I figured it all out.

I made sure that my parcel includes shipping cost won't reach the maximum for it to be liable for import tariffs which is around €21,- in the Netherlands. So I am very cautious when importing stuff from outside the EU.

My Mi band for example are things I normally wouldn't buy form China directly since it cost more than €21,-. So I wait and checked for the correct price and then buy it. In my opinion the €21,- is also good since I'm so used to the warranty policy in the Netherlands which I won't enjoy when buying from Chinese websites. That's if something goes wrong I won't lose over €21,- in a way the import tariff is a way to protect the citizen to think twice before importing and not taking too many risk with it.
