Importing a Genny Zero from Switzerland into countries like Germany, Austria or the Czech Republic may incur additional costs. These costs are composed of several components that must be considered during import:
1. Customs Duties:
When importing from Switzerland (a non‑EU country), customs duties generally apply. The rate depends on the value of the wheelchair including transport and insurance. The duty rate for wheelchairs / balance vehicles varies depending on the tariff classification.
2. Import VAT:
In addition to customs, import value‑added tax (VAT) is charged. In Germany the VAT rate is typically 19 %, in Austria 20 %, and in the Czech Republic 21 %. Import VAT is calculated on the customs value (goods value + customs duty + transport cost).
3. Transportation and Insurance:
Costs for transporting the Genny Zero from Switzerland to your destination depend on the carrier, service level (door‑to‑door vs. pick‑up), and the size/weight of the vehicle. A transport insurance is recommended for valuable goods.
4. Additional Fees:
Other possible costs include:
- Clearance fees from your freight forwarder or carrier
- Technical inspection or individual approval costs
- Storage or handling fees at the border crossing
Example Calculation (illustrative):
- Genny Zero value: 8,000 €
- Transport Switzerland → DE: 300 – 600 €
- Customs duty (e.g., 2 %): 160 €
- Import VAT (19 % on customs value): ~1,600 €
➡️ Total additional import costs beyond purchase price: ~2,060 – 2,260 €
Note: Actual amounts depend on exact tariff codes, exchange rates and services selected.
