Habe im August eine Uhr von Jtime / Li bekommen, Er hat mich in einem Mail vorgewarnt das es zu Einfuhrsteuern kommen kann. Der deklarierte Wert der Ware war mit 15 Euro angegeben.
Ich musste dann direkt an den Postzusteller 7,50 Euro Zoll zahlen.

Got my ORF seamaster the other day. Paid a bit more than 3€ in taxes, as well as almost 22€ in handling fees.

Besides the handling fee being a bit annoying it wasn't so bad.

No signs of package being opened, nor any questions about the low declared value.

They have found,they prepay the VAT . Or if not prepaid you will be asked to pay 4-5 euros when you will pick it up from the post office.

Good point, if TDs and or shipping companies will not find a solution, TDs will stop refunding seized watches

They wont stop. But the prices will rise to make more profit short term to pay the seized watches long term.

A question for shipments to the EU what should be written as a declaration? DHL as a forwarder?


I see you live in italia. Do you mean sending from China? Then let your TD do his work;)
If you mean EU from Italia, it doesnt pass customs.

Forgot to give the feedback about this shipping.
It took a little while to get released from customs, but everything went well. Just had to pay a low value VAT.
Now have a second one also coming from UK to Spain… let’s see how it goes.

Everything ok with this one also. Even better as, apparently, hasn’t been held in customs and it was a lot faster.
Only had to pay VAT.

When looking for the tracking in the website, there is a link to pay the VAT. Simple.
