Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this estimate?
It is a planning-level estimate. Freight is a percentage range based on what forwarders typically charge for palletised server shipments, and VAT is calculated on goods value plus freight. The final numbers come from the freight forwarder's quote for your exact configuration, weight and city.
Who pays the import VAT?
The importer of record, which is normally you, the buyer. VAT-registered businesses in the EU and UK typically reclaim import VAT on their VAT return, so for many companies it is a cash-flow item rather than a real cost.
