Quite. ".....the punitive taxes that Spain levies.....". EU customs regulations, including duties and taxes, existed when the UK was a member of the EU, and we didn't have to pay them. Who voted to leave the EU?
Kind regards,

I queried this with the British Embassy and was told to contact Spanish Customs which I haven't done. If anyone can be bothered with that let me know how you get on.Good old embassy, always working hard on our behalf
Hello
There was much information available online that this would happen , post Brexit & payable from Jan 2021..
With that knowledge, myself & 1000s of others here, changed from shopping on Amazon UK to Amazon.es to avoid the Import tax & Vat that was payable on goods received from ALL 3rd nation countries -- which includes UK), This had been a payable Spanish customs tax for many years.

I disagree. There was an expectation of tax on new purchases and I have always used Amazon.es where possible and have stopped using Amazon UK but I have had to pay 35€ for my own glasses which I dropped in a taxi at a UK airport and 18€ on some photos of my Grandad which my cousin sent me. This is ridiculous.
