how much tax to I have to pay on a laptop imported from the USA to Germany?
Hello! My brother wants to send me a notebook computer from the USA. But I said, "Wait! I think maybe I need to pay an import tax." Do you know how much I have to pay? The notebook is worth 468 Euros. I looked on the website, but I could not find the answer to my question. Thank you! Mit freundlichen Grussen,

Answer 2 :
Hello There ! Most likely you will have to pay import taxes and / or Mehrwertsteuer. You can find further information here: http://www.zoll.de/faq/postverkehr/index.html The value exceeds the gift threshold. It might be declared as used, since your brother probably used it a couple of hours ;-) Good luck!
Answer 3 :
Dont risk your money and be careful of international warranties as they can leave you high and dry. I just got one from these guys cheaper than the US. www.babtec.com.au Good Luck!
