There is no import or customs duty within the EU - That's the whole point of the EU.
I may be confused but is this officially the case for goods which the purchaser has not personally bought in themselves??? If this were the case then people would order all their ciggies & alcohol over the net from the EU (e.g France / Spain) as it is cheaper.

Excise goods (Tobacco, Alcohol, Perfume, Oil etc.) are treated differently for intra-EC trading.
For all other goods there is no monetary limit between EU countries.0 -
