VAT on a gift bought from Israel?

Fri, 21/11/2008 - 10:43 — Karl

Just bought someone a present from Israel and it arrived without a hitch.

Now I've received an invoice from Federal Express for VAT on my purchase.

What's going on?
Is that legal?
Do I need to pay the tax, since I would have paid sales tax on the sale in Israel?
