Dear Hans, Thanks for getting back to me. I think you're right. I’ve contacted Origami-Noa about this now. Let's see what they say. I’ll let you know. I can only hope that this was an exception.

Have any of you had similar experiences recently (in Europe)? I live in Denmark and had custom charges DKK 160 (21 Euro) added for a BOS Magazine, sent from the United Kingdom. I also rejected. The common feature seems to be origami organisations sending magazines to countries in the EU :-( My guess is that VAT handling should be marked sender so that customs authorities (or the post handler on their behalf) don't do what they really shouldn't, but I don't know any details.

Yesterday, for the first time, the mail carrier asked for 11 euros to cover customs charges (in Germany). I refused delivery because I can’t afford that in the long run (the subscription still has two years to run). Have any of you had similar experiences recently (in Europe)? Has something changed? I haven’t contacted NOA yet, but I plan to do so. I would really appreciate any feedback. Best regards, Stefan
