fretmeister Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Most likely. They will have to pay their import and VAT on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 We tend to think of about another 25% here. Germany has VAT at 19% so pretty much the same calculation I would say.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and add the shipping fee and administrative fee to the equation plus the import taxes to calculate the VAT. Ā We are closer to 33% than 25%... Ā That's why I stopped importing things even if the original price is low. Ā These taxes are a real deal breaker.
