The misery of Hacktoberfest's reward merch

As you may know, one of the rewards you can choose from for participating in Hacktoberfest is the merch.

As some of you may also know, in the EU (or at least in France), there's a customs' tax for products coming from the US (and a few other countries).

And instead of ticking the "Gift" box (which makes sense, as that's what this essentially is), they always tick the "Others" box, which forces you to pay Customs Taxes for something you got for free, which is annoying af.

That's two years in a row, who knows if I'll want to keep this going.
