Customs clearance – AliExpress Deutschland zoll

In Germany, only parcels with a value exceeding € 150 are subject to duty. This does not include shipping costs and VAT.

For example, you bought an item for €140, paid €30 for shipping and €26.6 VAT. Here VAT is calculated at the German rate of 19%. Then you will pay the fee from this initial €140. But you will need to present an invoice, which indicates the starting price of the item, excluding taxes and shipping costs.

Detailed information can be obtained from the website of the German Customs Service.

Rates of taxes, duties, excise taxes in Germany

Tax name	Bid	When is paid
VAT (assessment base import sales tax (EUSt)	7% or 19%, depending on the type of product	For all imported goods, does not depend on the price
Customs Duty (Zolls)	On average 12%, depending on the type of product	For all parcels with a value exceeding 150 €
Excise duty (Verbrauchsteuer)	For some goods	Only if the goods are subject to excise duty

Please note – the delivery service may offer you customs clearance services. This is not always beneficial. It happens that the cost of processing customs payments exceeds these payments themselves.

Example of calculating the cost of customs clearance

For example, you ordered a jacket from China that costs 200 euros. 

• First, we calculate the customs value. Product price – 200 € + shipping cost to EU borders 35 € = 235 €. 200.00 EUR + 35.00 EUR = 235.00 EUR
• Customs duty on clothing – 12%. In our case, this is € 28.20. € 235.00 x 12 percent = € 28.20
• Excise duty on garments – 0%.
• VAT (EUSt) is charged on the price of the goods together with the duty. € 235.00 + € 28.20 + 0 + 0 = € 263.20
• VAT (EUSt) on clothing – 19% In our case, it is 50.01 €. € 263.20 x 19 percent = € 50.01
• Total tax amount – 28.20 euros + 0 + 50.01 euros = 78.21 euros

This is a rough estimate. To find out how much taxes you have to pay in your case, use the customs calculator.
