Payez-vous la TVA suisse à l'importation et des frais de dédouanement lorsque vous commandez chez Foto Erhardt ?
Foto Erhardt facture les adresses suisses net, sans TVA allemande. Le colis est livré non dédouané. La TVA d'importation suisse de 8.1% et les frais de dédouanement du transporteur te sont facturés à la livraison. Pour une commande de caméra de CHF 400, attends environ CHF 50 de frais supplémentaires à l'arrivée du colis.
Three separate shop pages, the FAQ, the terms and the shipping page, all point the same way, which is why confidence is high. The weakness is that the shipping-cost page renders its rate table via JavaScript, so the exact Swiss shipping price and clearing carrier could not be verified.
The shop's own pages agree on this point. The English FAQ states that invoices for Swiss addresses are issued without VAT, and the terms say prices include German VAT only when the delivery country is inside the EU, so goods leave Germany net. The shipping page then says customs or import charges are levied once the parcel reaches the destination country, and that clearance fees are at the buyer's expense. The shop states that it does not control the amount and points Swiss customers to the Swiss tariff database. That is a plain DAP arrangement, and nothing Swiss is collected at checkout.
The open question is the size of the bill rather than who pays it. Foto Erhardt does not publish a Switzerland-specific shipping rate or name the clearing carrier for Swiss parcels. The terms mention only DHL, a forwarding agent or a parcel service in general, and the shipping-cost table on the site is loaded dynamically and could not be read in full. Since 2024 there is no duty on cameras and lenses, so the charge is import VAT at 8.1% on goods plus shipping, plus a clearance fee that runs from about CHF 16 with a Post-handled parcel to considerably more with an express service. Split deliveries can produce that fee twice.
Livraisons partielles ou envois divisés. Un acheteur a payé deux frais DHL distincts parce qu'une commande est arrivée en plusieurs colis. Les articles volumineux expédiés par transitaire peuvent aussi entraîner des frais de dédouanement plus élevés.
