Andreas is right - Icelend is not part of the EU. So if you orderf rom an EU country they shouzld take the VAT (value added tax) off for you  - your own customs will of course add the 24.5%

Alternatively - travel to an EU country, buy the cam, claim the VAT back (they will credit your bank account) and do not tell Icelandic customs that the cam is imported when you get home (NAUGHTY!)
