Customs duties on antique books and maps imported as gifts from US to Germany
score:2
Accepted answer
All items are more than 100 years old and were originally printed in Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany; I've learned that country of origin can make a big difference when it comes to customs).
Yes, there are many restrictions for such goods that are not of EU origin. This makes it simpler for customs.
I do have receipts that state how much I paid for the items.
The price you paid for is what counts. An estimate should only be made if there are no receipts. So bring them with you.
How would I determine the customs duty that would be due
For Books 7%, for everything else 19%, unless you are eligible for an exception under Article 42 (cultural materials).
Based on your description, I have listed 3 possibilities.
