Customs and VAT when ordering on amazon.de

Amazon charges Swiss VAT at the time of the order, for items it sells and ships itself. The amount shows in the basket before you pay, and nothing is due when the parcel arrives.

Does Amazon charge Swiss VAT?

Yes, for items sold and shipped by Amazon. Swiss VAT is included in the price shown and settled at the order. There is nothing to pay the courier on delivery.

What about an item sold by another seller?

The handling depends on the seller. Amazon shows it clearly on the product page and in the basket before payment. An item sold and shipped by Amazon stays the simplest choice.

Are there customs duties on top?

The full amount due shows in the basket before payment, and that figure is the one that counts. For an item sold and shipped by Amazon, nothing gets added afterwards.

Could a surprise bill show up on delivery?

Not for an item sold and shipped by Amazon, Swiss VAT is already settled at the order. The price seen in the basket is the price paid.

Amazon's rates and rules change, the final price always shows in the basket before you pay. Today's price gaps are on the homepage.
