Hi,

if you buy cds in Amerika, you have to pay duty. It doesn´t matter, if the cds arrive in Germany first (it is an import into the EU).

But because of the high EURO, the price of the cds inclusive duty should be not so high.

Maybe the Amerikan Seller could declare the cds as a gift (than you have not to pay duty)!

Greetings from Germany

No, to choose the gift option only means, that the seller wraps up the package in present paper!

The seller have to declare the package at the customs as a gift to you. So it has no worth, because it is a gift. Then you have not to pay duty. But this is not legal, but some sellers do this! Ask them per mail.

But how I told you before, because of the strong EURO, cds bought in USA are cheap for European buyers at the moment.

Greetings Lars
