Quote from http://www.dhl.co.uk/info/duty.html;
-----------------
What is the rate of Duty?
The rate of Duty for any given product should be the same no matter
into which EU country they are imported, but may differ depending upon
the country of origin. Set annually by the EU, rates run from 1st
January to 31st December and are published in a Customs Tariff issued
by each EU country. Duty is usually percentage based, and averages
between 5-9% with extremes of nil and 85%.
How is the rate determined?
Goods are classified using the Customs Tariff in order to arrive at the
rate of Duty. The EU uses a ten digit coding and there are
approximately 14,000 classifications.
-----------------
Hmm, at this stage there's no point in arguing about this since it is
unknowable and entirely arbitrary.
