 Import GERMANY Great offers waiting for you! Before you go for them, please consider a few things:
Time difference: Be aware when ordering goods that there is a time difference between the United States and Germany. Buying/Ordering:
Note that in the U.S. the comma is used as a thousands separator. Also, other than in Germany, a dot is used to indicate the decimal place. To get the exact purchasing price in EURO, you are welcome to use our exchange rate calculator. Once you have entered the price in USD, you will have displayed the price in EURO. It is imperative to check on shipping and delivery costs to Germany well in advance - they might be higher than expected. If it cannot be derived from the information provided in its description whether the article is offered for international shipping, please turn to the seller before you order. All article descriptions are in English. If you don't understand this language, ask your seller for information in your language, so as to prevent misinterpretations. Be sure who is going to pay for shipping costs in case of sending a return package, by asking your seller well in advance. Take into account longer delivery times than you would expect when ordering from a German seller. Payment:
Transactions are rather costly, take their time, and U.S. sellers won't usually accept or welcome them. Payment via credit card is the better choice. Customs::
Customs duty and import turnover tax add to the bill - calculate your costs in advance (see below, "Customs"). What articles can be imported?
If you want to import goods from a foreign country, ensure that the procedure is in compliance with the relevant applicable national and local laws. According to trademark laws, the proprietors of trademark rights can veto the import of those goods that are meant to be distributed and sold only in other countries. Customs and import turnover tax The import of goods purchased outside the EU (so-called third countries) requires payment of customs and import turnover tax. Calculating the rate of duty The rate of duty, that is, the percentage charged according to the customs value, depends on the kind of goods and the amount invoiced (including costs for postage, delivery and insurance). The amount of the customs duty depends also on what Harmonized Tariff Number is given to the goods. You can calculate your customs tariff and your rate of duty by way of the Integrated Tariff of the European Union (TARIC). By using the "browse" or the "free text search" functions, you may select the country of origin and the customs tariff number to get your rate of duty. The German import customs clearance does only charge the import turnover tax, which is currently at 19%.
