Default EU import tax on classic cars

You've got to be f*cking kidding me!!!!! The EU government just changed the import tax on vintage cars!!!! We used to pay what came out to about 5% because they were "historic vehicles" under some special article of the EU tax law, now that's gone with a pen stroke. Import tax is now the same as on any other consumer product: 5% tax and 25% VAT (Denmark). For the GT2 that means instead of $4.5k I have to pay $23.5k when they unload the container!!!! This should apply to all EU countries, though most don't have quite the crazy VAT that Denmark does. News just broke on Friday, sure there will be an uproar and something will be worked out, but it looks like the GT2 will stay in CA for a bit longer than planned...
