Not everything is on the Internet.

I guess it's not that "infamous," then, is it?

[magicalhippo]

Perhaps the wrong choice of word, English is my second language after all. But it's quite well known in the food importing industry here AFAIK, and most seem to recognize it's exceptionally silly. But it's cheaper...

Infamous is probably the correct word, its infamy just hasn't been translated.

Welcome to English!

Infamous refers to something that is "well known for being bad!". A classic example would be a (well known) pirate! If the tax you are talking about is bad (I'm pretty sure it is) and well known (also, yes), then "Infamous" is a fine word to use

Notorious is a similar word - well known for something bad

Famous works if it isn't bad, but it usnusually used for people, and I would imagine "the highest threshold" of well-known stuff - so expect people to argue with you: "I haven't heard of X, so it must not be famous!"

Renowned and prominent are fine alternatives to "famous"

My personal favorite is Preeminent- which carries the notion of "#1 best". "My king is the Preeminent leader" - there is NO OTHER leader that can be king

Again, welcome to English, enjoy your stay!

A friend of mine works at a company that does just this.

He said the drivers who haven't done it before gets quite confused when ordered back to Spain just as they've crossed the border, without unloading.
