As Kolja said importing from anywhere in the EEC should be easy. As an individual any selling company will apply the local VAT rate which varys a little between the EEC countries. Watch out for carriage charges as some some companies do charge a bit over the odds sometimes.
If you purchase outside of the EEC say from the US the courier/postal service may levy a charge for handling the VAT or other taxation collection. If use a curier like FEDEX etc. they usually they handle this very smoothly and delivery can usually be quick. As an example we do this every day in the opposite direction where we usually deliver from the UK next day, or next day + 1, into the US depending on whether an order meets our shipping cutoff time.

Couriers like Fedex etc. often charge an excessive fee for cleearance- normal postal service are usually preferable in this respect but this may vary by country.
