Also the new 150 euro limit applies only if one of the parties is a company. So if Jason sent you the book, you would have to pay the customs taxes, but if Massive Black sent you the book, you wouldn't.

I think the law became effective on 1st December.

I'm not sure at all though, correct me if I'm wrong.
h2rra, thanks for making this clear, I did not know this. However, the shipping rates to Germany/Europe question seems still to be unsolved....
