Do you pay Swiss import VAT and customs charges when ordering from HORNBACH Schweiz?
HORNBACH Schweiz is a Swiss company shipping from within Switzerland, so no parcel crosses the border. Prices include 8.1% Swiss VAT and the carrier collects nothing at the door.
The Swiss legal entity, the Swiss VAT number and the VAT-inclusive price statement all point the same way. Page bodies load by JavaScript, so some shipping figures were read from indexed page text rather than the rendered page.
The site is operated by HORNBACH Baumarkt (Schweiz) AG in Sursee, with the Swiss VAT number CHE-101.079.884 in the Impressum. Every page footer states that prices include MwSt. Orders ship domestically with Swiss Post, DPD or Planzer Homeservice, so there is no import clearance and no import VAT. Standard parcels cost CHF 7.95, bulky parcels CHF 17.95, and freight consignments start at CHF 29.
The only amounts that vary are shipping charges, and those are shown on the product page and in the cart before payment. Freight deliveries are quoted per item and can be higher for crane delivery or installation. Nothing in that structure is a customs charge, and delivery to a HORNBACH store is free for parcel shipments.
Freight items add CHF 29 or more in shipping, billed at checkout rather than on delivery.
