scottb Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'm selling some guitar pickups on Ebay and got a request about shipping them to Germany. Other than shippng costs, are there other fees involved ie customs, tarriffs, mafia payoffs, governmental bribery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Customs fees have to be paid by the buyer. If the value of the items is above 45 Euro and below 350 Euro, he has to pay approximately 20% customs tax (16% VAT + other taxes). Above 350 Euro there are special tariffs depending on the nature of the goods. As far as customs go, private carriers (Fedex, DHL, etc) should be avoided, because these companies charges the buyer additional administrative fees related to customs formalities (up to 20 Euro). The seller has to comply with export regulations for military equipment Edited August 22, 2006 by Claude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
