I’m not sure what German policies are, but in the US, repair/replacement parts are generally exempt. I’d assume for that reason, that some companies have different part numbers for a standalone part ordered as an option and a second part number
for the part for repair use.
Marking them as replacement parts, or parts being returned for repair or similar might be a solution. It’s ambiguous at best….i mean you are repairing your unit.
The main limitation is generally not being able to insure for more than the declared value.
If you buy in US something for 100$ & 25$ transport
and use flat rate tax rate, then the receiver in Germany must pay
import tax 22,50�
total = 22,50�
Sum = 140,90� (Goods and duties)
If you buy in US something for 900$ & 100$ transport
and use flat rate tax rate, then the receiver must pay
import tax = 211�
customs? = 166�
total = 377�
Sum = 1325,00 � (Goods and duties)
Is it a mobile or tablet - then no customs and tax a little bit lower
For a monitor you have 205� tax and 133� customs
So it depends on declaration - normaly the transporter will do all you ;-))

Not sure if the 'receiver' will have to pay duty, when he gets it in Germany; but the HS code might help determine that.
