First new products are available!

Hi out there,

for what it's worth, feedback from Germany:

Here, we were charged 2,7 % toll, and 19 % taxes.

We had an order of 49 sets total (which of course helped to reduce shipping costs), and in the end paid € 26,40 per 120-card set.

Are you counting on the Customs fees?
In Portugal that's 25% extra...

Huh?
Percentage FEES on top of VAT!?

What kind of system doesn't use flat fees?
It is not like they need to do more work if you are importing 50 bundles instead of 1...

Shees!

Same in Italy, that's why we have frozen our orders

Hi all !

Customs Officer speaking here

As I explained to my French players, here is the calculation for French import taxes from US

Customs taxes on Cards : 2,70% (going to the EU budget FYI)

www.tarifdouanier.eu/2018/95044000

So your 100€ VtES is now 102,70€

Then every country applies its own VAT on it (for national budgets) :

In France, it's 20%

So now your order costs 123,24€ (23,24%).

BUT we, european customs officers, do this simple math for free.

AND if some private companies obtained the right to do it for their clients they WILL charge you for that (e.g. La Poste took me 20€ as "customs fee" for my Zone 1 Alias DVD Rambaldi Box, in addition to the mentioned before taxes).

So, my point is : we, as customs officers, didn ´t bleed (pun intended) you to death to get your cards but UPS did !

And lastly, with Trump's economic warfare on steel, the EU might put 25% more on products from USA (not tcg for now, only Florida Orange Juice, Harley Davidsons and Bourbon).

Thanks for your attention, you can go back to torpor.

PS : as the Italian NC said, my local Northern playgroup is holding the order until a European seller is chosen.

I will check it asap but I heard on the radio news this morning that playing Cards will get more taxes because of Trump war on steel and aluminium.

If I read it correctly it should be 10% more.

I made the New calculations for us French

Cards value : 100€ from US

Customs tax : 2,7%
102,7
Anti Trump 10%
112,97
VAT (in France 20%)

135,56€

Without UPS fee of course
