I backed for a physical copy from the USA. I live in Germany. Now my parents ( I am 19, University Student) recently learned about me backing for the project (thank god they don't know which tier), and got really mad at me, saying that even if the game ever comes out, if I will ever get send a copy, it will most likely be confiscated by the customs and I won't have a chance to get it, while still having to pay the import tax (19%). As far as I could figure out, except the 19% tax, there shouldn't be any difficulties, or am I wrong? Does anyone know pretty much how this will be and could clarify this for me? Also sorry, if this is the wrong thread, feel free to move me then, didn't find the right thread then. Also, "Slacker-Backers" still get a copy of the game if the pledge was high enough, don't they?

Sure slacker backers could get a physical copy if that's the tier they backed at.
Fangamer has some mailing options (I think). Send an email to Orders@Fangamer.Com and ask your question about overseas shipping there. I'm sure they will give you a solid answer.

I hope that you get your version of Bloodstained! It's too bad to hear about your parents and the situation, hopefully things get worked out. If all else fails I'm sure there would be some way to make all of the content digital, even if you backed at a higher tier. Fangamer will help you figure things out. :]

Thanks Yän^^ I doubt, that they'll confiscate it aswell, after all, i did some research aswell, however, it's not 100% clear whats on the official site. (E.g. What is defined as "harmful for minors"? Would even be Super Mario included, as you brutally crush Monsters there?) My parents ofcourse think that the whole Iga team will be disbanded within 1 week, taking all the money they got for a nice living and laughing about idiots like us. (Which is ofcourse crap, but try to argue with parents -.-) Just wanted to take no risks with the customs, which is why I asked here aswell, still wrote an E-Mail to both Fangamer and the customs info-service, let's see the results. (Still no answers, however, may take a few days or something I guess.)

(Still no answers, however, may take a few days or something I guess.) Well unless Bloodstained ends up on the German index (which of course it won't) I don't think we need to worry about that. Your parents worries, however are not completely unreasonable. When looking at the whole thing from an outsider's perspective who doesn't know about IGA's reputation, it makes sense to be sceptical at the premise of giving them a hundred Euros for a game that they still need to make. After all there have been cases of successful Kickstarter campaigns that didn't stay true to their promise. Of course we know that IGA won't let us down but not everyone knows IGA Anyway, I suppose Fangamer will take some time to reply. They get a lot of emails after all.

Fangamer mailed me now:
"Slacker Backers get everything, including a beta key, even now. It will be later upgraded to the full version on Steam.
The Package is going to be taxed like normal, however, not for the full pledge amount, as I also "payed" for game development and shipment. Only the worth of the Merchandise will be taxed.
It is possible for another $35 to upgrade the from IPA to UPS Expedited, which is with pre-paid custom fees. (The $35 have to be send to order@fangamer.com)"
That is at least very helpful to know. Now I'll wait for the answer of the customs support/office.

Has anyone in Europe gotten their stuff yet and can comment on whether they had to pay custom fees? Mine was handed over to Fedex today, however, it's being shipped from the US...

Mine has also been sent out via FedEx. Will arrive on monday. Usually FedEx handles the customs and you get a bill afterwards.

How was the issue resolved?
