Ordering parts in the USA

Hello guys,

everytime I order parts from the USA I have to pay much taxes.
The German customs want to have 7% from the $-price for automotive parts, than the state want to get 16% from the $-price + the 7% customs fee. And of course I have to pay the shipping, so overall I can say I have to take the $- price and multiplicate it with 2 or 2,5 (€ rate) till I've got the parts at home.

But there is an other possibility, if someone of you buy the parts for me, of course I'll pay him before and send the parts as a gift to me, I don't have to pay the taxes.

Is there anybody outthere in the USA, who would do this for me???

Christian

Your lucky !

I got to first pay 7% in customs , then another 25% in tax on total inc shipping.

Get the vendor to write a lower price on the value !

I'd be willing to help as long as I am paid first and then send everything to you. I don't blame you for not wanting to pay 30% or more tax. That's robbery.
