god i hate portuguese customs

i send every bit of information required, the cost of items, the shipping, and the pencilneck jerk tax collector can't even read through the extensive documentation they actually requested to see that this information was in there, so i sent it again, sent screenshots, and even followed up with the fucking card issuer payment receipt and order number

i feel so violated, this is the worst thing about living in portugal... fine if you order stuff through amazon or some UK vendor that has all that EU shit sorted out via their shipping contractor, but everywhere else is hell

it's like being in bulgaria 10 years ago, and you wind up paying nearly 30% of the total cost of the order including shipping as tax

it's like, bro, that's how much the australian government was cutting out of your wages back in 2011, for an annual income of up to 30,000 a year

european union sucks ass so bad i could scream, i'm seriously not gonna stay in the EU after this december, i'm leaving
