Hello!
on the “Shipping and Customs” page from the shop i found this:
Customs information
Customers who place orders from USA, Australia and the rest of the world will usually not have to pay any import duties or tax. We advise that you check with your local imports authority if you are unsure whether you will have to pay any duties.
i have found this “old” thread:
with this in the last post:
If you want our products, you should be prepared to pay your countries VAT rates as well as any import duties and handling fees leveraged by your local customs authority. Alternatively, you can buy from a local reseller.
I am closing this topic. There will be nothing further to learn from it.
If we choose to adopt the IOSS scheme or there are changes to the current UK and EU agreements, then we will update this accordingly on the site.
could somebody clarify what i have to expect if ordering from italy? everyhing paid for (IOSS) or will i have to pay taxes/fees?
If you want to pay the customs fees in advance you can order through a market place like Amazon or eBay (where we have an outlet) and fees will be collected automatically or an EU reseller.
Otherwise you will be contacted by Post Italienne automatically to pay any fees owed.
@sam_nazarko poste italiane should calculate it like this: 107 GBP + (full) VAT 22% + “delivery fee” (the amount that poste italiane charges for their hard work), right?
At this time – we are not using the IOSS scheme to ship packages, unless you purchase on eBay or Amazon where we then ship this as DDU (but with VAT collected).
As such, you would be charged VAT on import and some delivery companies as you suggested do charge a handling fee.
Actual fee might look a bit different as we declare in GBP and I suspect Italian customs work in EUR.
We don’t have an Italian reseller currently. If you can recommend a company that stock Pi products / may be interested in stocking the Vero, we can get in contact. I am trying to grow the re-seller network this year.
Either way should be fine, as the final price should end up the same. We sell the units to WElectron without VAT, duties on a DDU basis. German VAT rate is 19%, so there should be about 3% difference in it.
