Hi, I just won a price from xfire.com and they are sending it from America to Holland over sea, does anyone know the tax I need to pay for that trip?

just ask those admins or the staff or whatever, whether you gotta pay the tax or not..and if yes, im sure they can answer ur question
But there are a lot of goods you don't have to pay duty for. If you have the time, you can browse through the TARIC codes on the EU website where you find ALL goods and their duties.
Since your good is a Headset I found the right TARIC code for your good as you can see here:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds/cgi-bin/tarchap?Taric=8518302000&Download=0&Periodic=0&ProdLine=80&Lang=EN&SimDate=20090121&Country=US/0400&YesNo=1&Indent=2&Action=1#OK
As you see your good is free of duty (surprise, surprise :P).
Nevertheless you have to pay the income salestax which varies within EU countries but you can calculate with about additional 20% on the purchase price + shipping.
