Re: Shipping overseas?

 

Package forwarders are tough to beat when it comes to small parcels. MyUS ships 5 pounds to Germany through DHL Express with decent tracking for $25-30. I don't know how high the cutoff value is right now, but the receiver might not be prompted to pay duty and/or VAT if you declare them as a gift (especially if they are :) ).

Thanks for all the ideas on shipping overseas, I will try some of the other definitions recommended on the custom form 1st.

I did look into a flat rate box, the cost was about $85.00 for a medium size box. Parcel Post or whatever they are calling ?it now, lowest cost way is about $50.00

Of course these boards from a 8660 have no real value, I used a low value of? $25.00.?

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.

Well here some examples (before Trump):

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.
