Its even worse over here in Norway, talking almost 100%!!!! Although sometimes goods slip through without tax.
Off the subject of models but an example of Norwegian tax, I recently decided that I may import an Evo6 from the UK (1/1 SCALE), heres the price:
1 x 2000 EVO6 imported from Japan : £16000
1 x import duty to Norway : £25000!!!!!!!
1 x total :£41000
Neadless to say I decided against it and bought TAMIYA instead!
