Just to continue about the taxes:

Is the taxes going to be paid for the country the empeg is going to be shipped? Or the country the empeg is leaving?

In countries that have VAT (I suppose Finland is one of them - virtually all of Europe is), the tax is paid on imported goods. In the worst case you pay:
price + shipping)*(1+duty%)*(1+VAT%)


But things moving between countries inside the EU should not be subject to this. In this case the VAT is added/payed only in the "first" country inside the EU
(it used to be that the seller could get back the VAT payed if he could show that the item had been exported, as the buyer then payed VAT in his country... This might still be the case for non EU-internal transactions, not sure though
Quote:
I think that exporter does not pay anything.

My understanding as well.
Quote:
When I bought my first empeg, price was over $1k, duty 10% and VAT 22%


Oh the joy..:(. 3%duty, 25% VAT... And the $ at somewhat less pleasant levels than oday...
