That bad are your customs officers? I mean most LEDs ordered from China must be extremely cheap. Will they know that Cree ones are more expensive?
Maybe there are not so bad at all but its like gambling it can be that i will recive my package by China post without a problem but on the other hand when officers will check it than i have to pay duty and 23% tax wich is a disaster :)
Probably i will try to order from Jerry later beacose i have allready ordered some chips and driver from mouser and i would stick to them but the problem is that they dont have ideal holders and newark got their storages in U.S.A
Anyway thanks for help

Aren't you paying the tax when ordering from Mouser as well? Newark is a no-no for Europeans, they've got ridiculous shipping costs and no deal for free shipping.

We want duty free cob...
And even if mouser is more expensive for EU residents it is a site where we can find a lot of useful things and others we cannot find in EU...!

You would have paid a bit less with kb...even with vat...
In france under 150 € there's no custom fee
Under 45 € no vat...
I ask Jerry to write an amount on the envelope who is under 45 € and I avoid taxes...
I believe 4 cxb 3590 + holders + hlg = 300 $ max shipped...375 $ if you are not lucky and have to pay vat...so better take the risk...to pay less!
