Ich habe etwas für mein kleines Unternehmen im Ausland bestellt, weil ich keinen lokalen Produzenten gefunden habe. Für 83 € muss ich 33 CHF an Kosten bezahlen. Das ist lächerlich. Ich wünschte, das System wäre anders, vielleicht könnten wir unsere eigenen Makler sein?

Yeh i know this is also with amazon we needed to pay 50chf for one package of 20chf
If you live close enough to a boarder or have a friend that is a frontelier…you have options.
The broker fees are ridiculous! Everything is now an automated process the import. But that “service” is 25CHf it’s a joke.
It will always be near that there is a minimum something like 20 which is always that regardless of the price of the goods
Then the rest is a percentage
I’ve said it before: Never mind the Pirate Party, what we need is a Smuggler Party.
I ordered a product from Turkey a few weeks ago, cost was 59.-, which I knew was under the limit for VAT to be applied (if your product costs less than 65.-, you do not need to pay Tariffs).
Then UPS knocked on my door and asked 33.- in order for me to receive the package.
They decided on their own to do the legal paperwork even though there is no need to do so. And since they did it, I had to pay the fee.
I tried for weeks to get a clear explanation as of why. In the end it turned out that, in fact, they do have the legal right to do so.
This is absolutely insane in my opinion. I did have to pay the fee in order to receive my product. They even said that if I turned the package down, I’d STILL have to pay since they already did the paperwork.
This ssystem is completely rigged and it must be reviewed.
