About shipping and customs
parcels are filtered out for commercial purchases and value.

In Germany, it helps to put a private address on it.
If one doesn't want to lie about the value, it is a good idea to send it in batches under 100 Euro, which is customs free.

Are you sure about that? The last time I checked, the Freigrenze (limit value) was 45€ for private packages, and 22€ for purchases (both including the value of P&P).

I am a bit puzzled now...

this here seems to be official

the thin with the 100€ was a rule of thumb I heard about, nothing official

Well, that looks about right, so they changed it (I think I remember hearing something about that, but didn't really bother at the time since I only very rarely order stuff in the US).

So, to sum up the link - 22 Euros or less (including P&P), no VAT or duties. 22-150, VAT but no duties. 150+, VAT AND duties.
