I tried to see how much you'd have to pay for customs.

It seems there's a 17.5% fee for a package with value of at most 700 €.

If it's more than 700 €, it gets complicated and I can't be arsed to look into how that works exactly. On the overview page for those regulations, there's 19% tax for imported goods mentioned, some customs fee depending on the value, and another weird tax also depending on the value. It'll fuck up the price of the PC.

I'm guessing you'd have to see how to get around paying any of that or it won't make sense to get it shipped to you from outside the EU.

I got this from here: http://www.zoll.de/DE/Privatpersonen/Post-Internet/Sendungen-aus-einem-Nicht-EU-Staat/Zoll-und-Steuern/Abgabenerhebung/abgabenerhebung_node.html

Clicking on "English" somewhere at the top, the English page you'll get to seems to be more about traveling and stuff.

Just for completeness sake, while looking around, some page mentioned how to travel with stuff in person. Taking something on a flight as luggage, if coming back home from abroad, you can import 430 € of stuff into Germany without paying anything. I have no idea if that's also the case if you aren't a resident in Germany.

If you order from the US/CAN you have to pay german taxes on the parts as well.
You can add another 20% + shipping if you order parts from the US. If the order is held back by custom authority you´ll have to pay a fee according to the value to get it back.
If you order stuff from outside the EU you have to announce it to german custom authorities.

So basicly order for 1000$ + 100$ shipping, german/eu customs is at least +200$.

Go buy from hardwareversand.de, or mindfactory. While food might be cheap in germany, everything else from clothes to Hardware is more expensive, becuase someone has to make the low us prices possible :D
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

You can wait until EU and US have their taxfree buying pact fixed. But that would be at least another 10 years

Buying from the US is not reallly an option, I looked it up, you can savely add 30% with all fees and taxes, and you have to announce the order to your "Zollamt" or get the package from there, paying cash.
Even if you fly back, buy a Laptop you may be asked to pay taxes at the airport custom authority in Berlin.
They actually check because Hardware/Clothing is reeeaaaally cheap in the US compared to EU.
(You pay the dollar prices in Euro and more)


Oh German customs is greedy :

you have to play

(order+shipment)*1.19 + Fees depending on shipment, so you pay 19% taxes on the shipping too.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
