Global is cheaper.
If I choose Global and enter a Spanish address, will I have to pay anything to customs?
Will it cost the same in the end?
Please help. Thank you!
The pinecil solder iron is also available from Amazon if that option will help for you.
Very expensive on Amazon...
Amazon - 89,99 euro
EU Store - 66,25 euro
Global Store - 23.59 euro ($25.99)
I want to save money. I can buy in the USA.
How much will I pay in taxes or fees?
Is this true?

If the price is 24€ and it's NOT sent from a private individual (meaning it's a commercial purchase, e.g., from Amazon, AliExpress, eBay, or directly from the manufacturer), then:
✅ Custom duty = 0% (since the item is under 150€).
❌ VAT (IVA) in Spain = 21% of the item's price + shipping cost.
VAT Calculation
Item price: 24€
VAT (21%): 24 × 0.21 = 5.04€
Total: 24€ + 5.04€ = 29.04€
Conclusion
If the order is a commercial purchase, you will need to pay 5.04€ VAT.
This tax might be included in the purchase price (e.g., on Amazon or AliExpress) or paid upon delivery.
