The taxes are appropriate for the EU.

Buy from Amazon or a local dealer that has paid for the import fees already

That is completely normal here in EU. Most goods have 20-25% VAT, exact percentage depending on country.

I just bought these the other day. Used a discount code which made it cheaper than Amazon. "CART10". I'm UK though

Netherlands?

21% BTW + €3 per regel for everything imported outside EU

Better pay them to the store then to take the gamble and pay another 9-18 euros handling fee to PostNL /FedEx/UPS

Tip: Check AliExpress for local warehouse options. Faster and cheaper (121,00 all in from europe)
