Jolla announced that they have started shipping the tablets to the early buyers (lucky you!). If you have pre-ordered a Jolla Tablet, Jolla will email you telling you how much local tax, VAT, custom fees etc. you have to pay and how to pay for it.
It would be very much appreciated if the early buyers who are receiving the tablet kindly post the various fees determined by Jolla, for your country. Post with the following information:
Your Country: _____________
Courier Service used by Jolla: _____________
- Tablet Price you paid: _____________
- Shipping Fees: _____________
- Local Tax (if applicable): _____________
- Custom Fees (if any): _____________
- Other Fees (if any): _____________
Total cost of tablet (1+2+3+4+5): _____________
One of the reason I (and perhaps others) didn't purchase the tablet was because of the lack of clarity on the FINAL price of the tablet (Jolla tablet price + shipping fees + the taxes and custom fees ). I am still VERY much interested in purchasing the tablet (if and when they make it available again), but do want to know the final TOTAL price of the tablet beforehand. (I don't know why Jolla didn't publish this themselves in the first place, now that they have this information ... )
Just to add for United States. Tablet PCs are exempt from import duties so you should not have to pay anything when it comes to you. http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/saved_calculations/view_details/195272881/

On phone or computers (closed I could find on the website of the customs) both have NO import tax. You only have to pay for the VAT (21% BTW). Depending on how much you paid for your tablet in this case.
So paying more then 50 euro would be way to much for the Dutch people. Also depending on the currency rate they used to calculate the euro value of the tablet. It was way better when I ordered then it's now.
Saying this I would prefer paying the tax when the parcel arrives then when I finalize my order.

sifartech ( 2015-09-25 01:44:01 +0200 )edit@sifartech No I have not received the invite yet. I'm at the beginning of the second 1000.
I got this information on the website of "De Belastingdienst" somewhere in the section "Douane". But according to the rules in the EU Jolla has to pay the cost for the Dutch import. But Jolla has never followed the EU rules on selling in the EU. For all my phones and other halfs I paid Finish tax. Not the Dutch as I'm suppose too.
However I will pay Jolla what they think I ow the. I will try to get the taxes I paid back from "De belastingdienst". Somehow I think this will be posible. But have no prove.
DDH87 ( 2015-09-25 02:20:58 +0200 )edit@DDH87: The Jolla blog post mentions that if you are in EU, "taxes and customs fees will be calculated at checkout" and "... you will receive it directly to your address, without having to complete any customs formalities." I guess EU (and maybe US customers) have it easy, whereas all the other customers will have to deal with their courier service to pay the custom fees and such.
