Shipping Methods: ACBuy to Germany
DHL Express is the most reliable option for German buyers — fast customs clearance and familiar tracking through Deutsche Post's system. Economy shipping options (Yanwen, ePacket, or ACBuy's own economy line) are cheaper but slower and less trackable through German customs. For hauls over €150 item value, DHL is recommended to ensure proper customs declaration.
German Customs for ACBuy Orders
Germany applies EU customs rules: orders under €150 are VAT-only (no import duty). Orders over €150 may incur import duty (typically 12% for clothing, shoes). Packages are usually declared below actual value by senders — but German customs can inspect and reassess. For rep hauls, splitting shipments under €150 each can minimize customs exposure. This is community practice, not legal advice.
