Buying electronics from EU; Duty & VAT? (lemm.ee)

I'm thinking of buying a new laptop from a business in Spain (Slimbook fwiw), but it's not clear to me from what I've read online whether or what kind of additional charges I'd have to pay. Has anyone else been through the process already?

I would love to buy from them and their new Starbook mk7 is actually my first choice but it's about 50% more expensive than Slimbook's equivalent. Starlabs would be much easier to get customer support from though and their model comes with Coreboot, which I would like. Perhaps I should by a scratch card or go down to Hampshire and try and haggle the price down!
