VAT bill from Fedex for product from US

dal · 2007-03-12 13:33:19

Hi, I bought a laptop screen from ebay a couple of weeks ago. It cost about 200 dollars and was sent from the states. Just a couple of days ago, I got an invoice from Fedex (the shipping company that was used) for 40 euro for VAT charges, which I assume to be some sort of import duty. Does anyone know if I need to pay this…

Does anyone know if I need to pay this and what happens if I ignore it?

Thanks
