I've been considering ordering some bike parts from the US, which don't seem to be available in
Europe. The weak dollar has made this more lucrative than it has been for many years. Velocity rims
for example seem to be impossible to find in Europe, or can somebody here name a shop that sells
them inside the EU?
Anyway:
Do the prices of the shops in the US generally include VAT? Is VAT deducted from the price I have to
pay? As I understand it, I should only have to pay VAT in my own country, which I have to do in
customs. For example, if you order from the great already cheap German mail order shops to the US,
17% VAT is deducted from the prices.
Anything else I should be aware of?
