I've only had relatively small packages sent over but on a few occasions I have had to pay more than the package was worth, once was a couple of presents for my kids. I'm not very confident of the 21% being actually 21% of the cost but more what they beleive the cost to be. I tend to feel they'd charge the Belgian new value on a second hand scope.
I could be wrong though.
I would even consider having it sent to France to the inlaws but it would depend on where we are at the end of the year.
I mentioned earlier that I think it's possible to send it to my wifes work and that would be free of customs because it's an EU institution but any info I find on that is a bit iffy, I don't particularly feel it's exactly the right thing to do either but from what I gather people do it with small packages at least all the time.
Worse case scenario is I'd have to pay the customs I guess.
