 AW: Nexus One Import aus USA über Borderlinx USA
So here we go again: Zitat:
enjoy_android:
Could you specify me the duty rate you apply on cell phones when they get sent from the US Borderlinx hub to a german location?
I know that the duty cost has to be 0% ( Taric Code for the EU duty calculator is 8525600000 ) and that the VAT is 19%.
Is that correct? Because the total cost calculator adds duty costs which should not be there.
Here is the link to the EU duty database (direct link to cell phone duty rates)

Borderlinx: Please allow me a moment.
enjoy_android: Sure.
Borderlinx: Please be informed that the amount that is reflected in the Total Cost Calculator is estimated.
Borderlinx: This is not the exact amount that will be charged.
Borderlinx: But the exact amount reflected on your account when the item will be updated.
enjoy_android: Yeah ok. It would be great if the total cost calculator would be updated to allow "cell phones" as own product type since the duty rate is completly different to other electronics. (it is a special case)
enjoy_android: And it is pretty hard to decide if you want to buy when the esstimation is 50€ more than the calculation I can do on my own.
enjoy_android: That is why I asked for the duty rate on cell phones you apply normally.
Borderlinx: The Total Cost Calculator will just give you an idea how much will be applicable to your item .
Borderlinx: Duty and Tax includes goods bought via the Internet.The rate varies from Country to Country, but in most Countries there is a certain minimum level where tax & duties are not applicable.
enjoy_android: Yeah I know that. But the duty cost is the same for all european countries on cell phones.
Borderlinx: So, We are unable to assist the exact Duty rate that will be applicable to cell phones
Borderlinx: So,If you can send us the concerns to -- .
enjoy_android: Ok. Tax is 19% in Germany on cell phones. Duty is 0% in Europe (including Germany). I posted you the link to the european database above. I justed wanted to confirm that. (since well you are offering such a service)
Borderlinx: So that I can check that with our higher authority and get back to you via Email.
Borderlinx: Are we connected..
enjoy_android: Yeah ok. I will do that. Thank you very much.
| Im großen und ganzen wissen wir nun auch nicht mehr außer das der Rechner sehr ungenau sein kann. Die Frage ist wem ich nun trauen soll? Ich werde nun auch noch das ganze in einer E-Mail zusammenfassen und an Borderlinx schicken, wie von dem Supporter empfohlen.
So was meint ihr?
