Tax Qs for Military in Germany: APO, AE

[varga11]

I don't know if this is the right category, but here is my question.
How do I find out the Tax? My sister-in-law is stationed in Germany and wants to place an order. I went to the tax rate guide to try and figure it out but it says no records match. Her address is APO, AE. Can anyone help me?

She has ZERO tax!!! We already pay higher shipping charges, so we don't pay any sales tax!!!

Thank youThanks so much that is what I thought. I needed confirmation! Is shipping 15%?

 

[stephanieboyd]

For shipping use whichever is less. It's $14 flat for over $65, but the 15% is more if the order is over like $90 or something. Use the cheaper of the two!!

Also, let her know that she will probably have it in about 3-5 days if she is at one of the big bases in Germany. It's a wonderful surprise to expect weeks for delivery and see it in the mailbox by the end of the week!!! Obviously, you don't want to promise her 3-5 days, but let her know that it is usually that fast for me!! My customers love that!!!

Hi there,Thank you for reaching out. I would be happy to help you figure out the tax for your sister-in-law's order. Generally, orders placed to APO addresses are not subject to sales tax, as they are considered international orders. However, it's always best to double check with your sister-in-law's specific APO address, as tax laws may vary depending on the location.I would recommend reaching out to our customer service team at 1-800-266-5562. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate information regarding taxes for APO orders. They are available Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm CST.I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions.Best,
