Buying Warmoth products from Switzerland - customs procedures and costs

[Wolff05]

Here's the documentation from UPS.

Here is the relevant section. Probably something like 2% of duty/tax + duty/tax.

Thanks for your answers. I'm slowly getting more and more information

Hello,

I received it. This it the bill i got from UPS, if might be useful for the next Swiss customer.



I'm not really sur i understand how they calculate.Especially the total amount (valeur) of 880 Swiss Francs. The actual value of my order was 1020$ + 260$ shipping.

So it's still unclear to me, but it might be useful for others.

TVA in Switzerland is currently I believe 8.1 % so convert the USD amount of the order and shipping to Swiss Francs and 8.1% of the total will be 89.35 Swiss francs. It will fluctuate slightly dependent on the conversion rate from USD to Swiss Franc that applied at the time of calculation. But perhaps contact UPS in your country to explain it.

Hi,

what is unclear is that 1280$ (gear + shipping) does'nt make 880 CHF. It seems like it's in my advantage this time, so i'm not gonna contact UPS

By the way it's been a good surprise as i was expecting it to be more expansive.
