Belgian customs has just raised its handling costs from 15 euro to 17.50 euro.
Buying a CD from outside Europe for 16 euro and 10 euro shipment, will now cost me
16 + 10 + (16+10)*21% + 17.50 euro...
Are we paying for their upcoming Easter party or what ??
The bigger companies (the Amazons of this world) know how to handle this, but it's the smaller DIY artist, record company or distributor that are the victims as they won't be selling into Europe anymore (although I've heard that Belgian customs is leading the absurdities when it comes to handling costs).
