If I order for more than $30 it have to go trough custom and 24% VAT will
be added. If the goods are sent as a gift there will be no VAT if the value
is less than $150

My bet is that customs would take a dim view on this

I'm shocked, _shocked_ that a good European would try to evade the taxes that
support the much better than America European Social Safety Net.
