Although the EU has an open foreign trade policy, import licenses are required for certain types of goods. You will also have to pay customs duty on the goods. The amount depends on the form, country of origin and quantity of the goods. You will have to pay VAT and, on some products, excise duty in addition to customs duties: alcohol, tobacco, etc. Following the introduction of the CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), there are also certain restrictions, especially for agricultural products.
