The Naked Truth About Customs
Every country plays by different rules, but most will charge:
- Import duties (typically 5-20% of declared value)
- VAT/sales tax (varies by country)
- Sometimes special “adult product” tariffs
Real-World Example
For a $2,000 doll shipped to Germany:
- 4.7% import duty = $94
- 19% VAT = $380
- Total extra = $474 (23.7% increase)
Country-by-Country Tax Breakdown
| Country | Duty Rate | VAT/GST | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 0-6.5% | 0% (varies by state) | No adult product restrictions |
| United Kingdom | 4.7% | 20% | Must be for personal use |
| Australia | 5% | 10% GST | No explicit bans |
