What are the customs duties for shipping outside the EU? Are there any additional fees?

When shipping outside the EU, you do not pay German VAT (19%). However, local taxes, fees, customs duties, etc. are incurred upon import. You can find out exactly how much these costs are from the friendly customs officer in your country. These costs are not covered by VanDeBord and in the case of a return, we cannot refund these costs.

Example of shipping to Switzerland: According to customer information, customs, taxes, and fees upon import are roughly as high as the saved German VAT of 19%. (Information without guarantee and dependent on the canton)
