Dear Mr X
I kindly ask you to excuse my delayed answer caused by an extraordinary large number of enquiries.
The import duties depend on the kind of oscilloscope.
I fit is a cathode ray oscilloscope, the customs duty rate is 4.2 %.
I fit is another oscilloscope than a cathode ray oscilloscope the customs duty rate is free.
The import VAT rate is 19 % in both cases.
Customs duties are calculated as follows:
invoice value of the goods
- shipping/freight and insurance costs = customs value customs value * duty rate = customs duty amount
customs value
- customs duty amount = import turnover tax value import turnover tax value* 19 % = import VAT amount
customs duty amount
- import VAT amount = import duty amount
For legal reasons this information can only be given to the best of our knowledge and is non-binding.
Yours sincerely
Keller
