Gergely Orosz(@GergelyOrosz):Customs work: they disincentive buying anything from outside the customs area, or sending from outside. Bought something online that was shipped from outside the EU. Went away for ~2 weeks, and now my stuff is returned because I did not pay customs (notif came over snail mail)
