Hi Sean,

Not an expert, but for it to be confiscated, it would need to be either a fake one, or not having the CE marks.

You will of course have to pay tax duty and fees as this coming from outside of Europe (I guess).

Unless the customs need to make sure you register it with the IAA to comply with the new drone law, but that would be a first. You still need to register it regardless anyway.

Or that was a nice April's fool :)
