Customs fees in Europe

Hello, have you ever paid customs fees for giveaways if you live in Eu? Yesterday I got my first box because I won the Skin1004's giveaway, and Ups charged me for about 10 euros.

I got customs on this one. It was shipped through EMS. Some brands can avoid customs fees but usually always customs with ups, FedEx, or DHL if the brand doesnโ€™t pay upfront

Awe thatโ€™s a major bummer they custom tax them ๐Ÿ˜ซ Iโ€™m lucky to get mine custom tax free in the US. Iโ€™d probably only apply for ones Iโ€™d really want if I was taxed.
