I don't know how much harmonisation there is across Europe, but in the UK,
VAT is not charged on consignments worth less than Pds Stg 18 (approx 27
Euros), and import duty is not charged on consignments worth less than about
Pds Stg 200. Effectively this means we can import most single DVDs and some
of the cheaper boxsets without paying taxes, provided we make sure that we
place separate orders for each item.
You might like to check with the Dutch Customs Dept to see if they have a
similar policy.
Incidentally, I've found Amazon.com is not too competitive on price when it
comes to shipping costs, and you might like to look at some of the
alternatives - DCDPacific, CD-Wow, etc...
