DHL is indeed the best but they will for sure check your package so you can pay import taxes ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (assuming they ship from US to EU)

How high do you estimate the tax for the import to be Germany? I expect a 19% import tax and customs charges around 4-18%. Does anyone possibly like the ASIC miners are classified by Customs?

I'm so close to the shipping origin AFAIK (NY right?) that I'm going to stick with the normal shipping option. Should only take 1-2 days I think to the Northeast.

I think they have no idea what is ASIC or Bitcoin, they will handle with it as with regular computer hardware. EDIT: For example this one would be suitable: Processors and controllers, whether or not combined with memories, converters, logic circuits, amplifiers, clock and timing circuits, or other circuits

I wonder if anyone has tried to pay BTC to the government for their taxes on a purchase made with and invoiced as BTC

I think that price on invoice will be listed also in USD or other "regular" currency, otherwise it did not pass through customs.

Odd, everything I've got from overseas BTC wise so far has come straight to me. Though, in all 4 cases it has been sent with EMS. Two from mainland-China, one from Hong Kong and one from New York. (however, as I've mentioned elsewhere, many courier companies that deliver to Sydney/Aus take the item to the post office and leave a card in your letterbox that tells you to go get it from the post office) I'll have to find the labels to see what was written on each one ...

19% import tax and no custom charges (there is no custom fee on processors or integrated circuits).

So what do I do if I want to upgrade my order to DHL Express. I have an account on the old homepage. Do I just place a new order with only the DHL Express upgrade in it?

The 19% in Germany isn't really import tax, it's VAT. Import tax, as it has been mentioned before, is probably 0% for European customers. (I'haven't had it checked yet, I'll post details as soon as I get concrete answers.) You buy your bASIC in the US without tax as well, or am I missing something here: EX TAX: $1,069.99? If you have a company and buy your ASIC's you can reclaim the VAT so it's a zero sum game, although you'd have to check out how and as what you declare potential profits with mining in your country and what the goverment will get from your profits. That's something for your accountant and lawyer to figure out as this varies from country to country.

will there be a chance to reduce those 19%? Or even get around it? I dont care if you guys think its the right thing to pay 19%, in my opinion its not, i dont see why i would pay my government 19% from something i bought with dollar, made in the USA.
So what possibilities are there? Put no bill inside and afterwards tell them you got it from ebay or what? Asking for a bill that states something cheaper?

This would be the link for all german customers, read through it, inform yourself. http://www.zoll.de/DE/Fachthemen/Steuern/Einfuhrumsatzsteuer/einfuhrumsatzsteuer_node.html;jsessionid=C59F02000C45E91DD69F078470D35294will there be a chance to reduce those 19%?

Simply put, in the USA if you buy something you've got to pay sales tax. In Germany/United Kingdom, if you buy something you've got to pay MWSt/VAT. What I'm trying to say is, as an end-customer you've always got to pay tax. If you own a company you can make use of pre tax deduction, and get the tax you payed, back, but as I mentioned before this is not as easy as it sounds. You're getting hung up on different terms. Although sales tax is much lower then VAT/MwSt, it more or less is the same. ____ Also, following discussions about this topic should start in a new thread as this is a topic for everyone buying something from the US and enough information can be found on the web. Tom's thread has been derailed enough for a day.

Incorrect. In the USA, a sales tax isn't a federal tax; it is a state tax that may or may not be imposed on sales of particular goods or services, depending on your state.
