Hi all,

I would like to order some equipment from djmart.com, but the thing is, I live in Holland. Has anyone got an idea how much tax you have to pay when you order stuff from the USA which is shipped to europe??

Thanx in advance!

Greetings,
Blighty

Because they don't have the type of headphone (v6) that I want

Hey Tiger, shipping costs and import tarriffs are TWO DIFFERENT things. Shipping is not calculated by us, it is done by the delivery compnay.

Here in the states, you only have to pay the sales tax (which is around 8%) ONLY if you live in that state or want the items shipped to that state. Sometimes there are some scandalous shops that charges sales tax to all customers regardless of where they live and that's just a bad store.

Shipping will be quite a lot however for international shipping, especially if the package is really heavy. I don't suggest that you buy international equipment unless the price you're paying for is really, really low and offsets the steep shipping costs.

There won't be any tax on it placed by the EU. That's the beauty of online shopping, you byepass all that. You will have to pay shipping though. My suggestion is to find somewhere closer to home that will sell them. That way, if something goes wrong, you can take them back.

I once ordered a product from US to Canada...
the total (including shipping) cost me 110 $

a month later... some taxing company sent me a bill of 50 $... which i had to pay.

I will never order a product from the net again !

no! it doesn't work that way! sometimes you might get lucky and don't have to pay the taxes, but usually you have to!


in finland the customs first take 3,5 % of the price (including shipping) and then from that price it takes the VAT which in finland is 22%. and if the sum that they tax altogether is more than 10€, then you'll have to pay it! so i wouldn't order anything from the states, except for just a few records or cds so that you don't have to pay the taxes!

i believe this is pretty much the same in holland an everywhere else in EU, just the VAT % varies!

Hmmm hehe Well, I hope I'll get lucky I ordered the v6 through DJ Tranz. I highly recommend to speak to him if you are interested in buying something from djmart.com
