Idle curiosity (and it's lunch break anyway) forced me to fathom the
unfathomable import duties @
http://www.bnb.be/DQ/E/dq5/intrastat/nom-e-03.pdf (page 641...)
Lens 6.7%
Camera 4.2%
Flash 3.2%
Camera parts 3.7%
Other parts 3.2%
Projectors 3.7%
Still don't do it!

The answer will be "don't do it".
In Belgium, VAT (Sales Tax) is applicable at 21%, plus random duties
according to an unfathomable commodity/tariff scheme, plus customs
clearance agency charges (plus VAT on this too).
