Import from the USA to the EU and DDP delivery
You buy equipment that has already been placed on the European Union market, fully cleared and delivered to your address. We take on the entire import, customs clearance and import-related taxes.
In short

- The goods are shipped from our warehouse in the USA to Germany, where they are fully cleared, and from there we send them on to your address in Poland or another EU country.
- On your side there are no import formalities or surcharges: no customs duty, no import tax, no clearance fees.
- You pay the price in your order and the delivery cost shown in the summary (above the threshold delivery is free).

Why our prices are lower than in classic distribution
We work directly with manufacturers, so the price of the device itself is considerably better than in classic distribution on the EU market, where the price includes further intermediaries: regional and national distributors, sales commissions and additional margins. At the same time we keep the full logistics and import service on our side. We encourage you to compare offers.
