Do you pay Swiss import VAT and customs charges when ordering from ZOEPPRITZ1828?
Zoeppritz ships from Germany with UPS for a flat EUR 14.90 to Switzerland, and import charges are left to the buyer. On a CHF 400 order expect about CHF 32 import VAT plus a UPS clearance fee of roughly CHF 20.
The shop's own German and English pages say the same thing and were updated in 2026, so the direction is clear. I could not run a Swiss checkout, and no Swiss buyer reports were found to confirm the exact UPS fee.
The shipping page lists Switzerland with the EU countries at a flat EUR 14.90 and names UPS as the international carrier. The same page states that deliveries outside the EU incur further duties, taxes and fees, which are not in the order total and are paid by the buyer to third parties. Clause 4.2 of the terms repeats this. Nothing on the site indicates a Swiss VAT registration or a duty-paid shipping option at checkout.
The shop points Swiss buyers to MeinEinkauf.ch, which delivers cleared and taxed. Ordering that way moves the charge to a service fee paid in advance instead of at the door.
“Wir versenden national mit DHL und international mit UPS gegen eine Versandkostenpauschale.”
“Diese Kosten sind in der Endsumme der Bestellung nicht enthalten und sind vom Besteller selbst an Dritte zu bezahlen.”
“In case of deliveries to non-EU countries further import duties, tax costs and charges apply.”
“For deliveries to Switzerland we recommend using MeinEinkauf.ch”
“Bei Lieferungen in Länder außerhalb der Europäischen Union können im Einzelfall weitere Kosten anfallen”
