    You do not pay import duty on brand new goods imported from Europe so I guess it is exactly the same with second-hand stuff from Europe, too?

    If by Europe you mean the European Union, then there is indeed no duty.

    You pay on gifts too, just that the threshold is twice as high - just look on customs and excise web pages
