According to a press release from the WTO, WTO members representing major exporters of information technology products agreed on 24th July 2015 to eliminate tariffs on more than 200 such products - and according to (German) press articles I read, the list of goods does include "video cameras".
So next time a camera is sold crippled to whatever absurdely short maximum video recording period, manufacturers will probably need to use a different pretense for their market segmentation measures. I already hear them blather about "heat dissipation problems" and such...

I think video cameras tax is not import related in EU. It apply to all cameras including domestic. Similar thing exist for CDs, HDD and DVDs as they can be used to wrote pirate content :-)
