EU tax for videocameras vs still cameras
Though I wonder who needs to record more than 30 minutes in one take? Seems like extremely niche scenario even with videocameras.
I remember Ukraine or Russia had for many years even crazier tax on cars which were improted partially disassembled and then assembled locally to avoid much higher import tax on completely assembled car, but can't find it now. Seems it was scratched after they joined WTO,m before there was like 30% import tax on cars.
recording longer than 30min is primarily for if you're recording an event (longer than 30min, like a sports match) and being able to leave the camera in a fixed location without having to go back and forth
