While I’m happy to pay for the VAT and some processing fee, this is getting completely out of hand.
You can see that, running out of inspiration, they just named a 4th additional fee “Fixe Taxe”.
Taxes of 188 francs cannot magically become 310 francs and swallowed right away. What can I do?
Thanks for your help <3
What was the value of the goods you ordered? And did they enter it correctly in the paperwork? (I had an invoice where they entered an amount 100x too much, I called and they said it happens all the time)
Were the goods something where there are importantion limits? Or where duty as apposed to VAT is due?
buy things in switzerland lol
importing has always cost more than just the added VAT ???
I actually just received a very similar invoice today.
Import tax fee – 300 chf (for wheels from germany around 4000chf)
import customs clearence – 21.50 chf – so basically 22 chf to process the import.
E-Doc – 91.50 chf. So because they offer electronic invoice, identical to the paper invoice i received, which i did not request or was asked about, i have to pay 92 chf more.
registration – 9,7 chf
paper – 8,50 chf (yep, 1 a4 paper is 8.50 chf apparently)
And apparently i got lucky, because if the import tax fee is above 5 chf, they charge you 75 chf extra for that, which i somehow didn’t get charged.
it’s really getting out of hand….
At some point companies will start doing what chinese companies do, and lie about value and contents.
