Jocko's text is the problem - I buy a 50 year only cam from a Canuk it is posted from Quebec, I pay VAT, on value declared on import. If it is a gift same tax.
If the Canuk is in Euro land and he sells it to me do I have to pay? Do I know he is a Canuk, people mistake me for Canuk.
It is a leica made in Weltzar, he may have bought it in Euroland, it may have been imported into Canuk land and exported again, if he has the orig DM receipt is it taxable? If he has lived all the time in DM land is it taxable.
If I send the cam to states for CLA I still get taxed on import and need origional receipt from 50 years ago or when I bought it to claim the tax back...
The tax point seems arbitary.
