Do I have to pay customs when buying bicycles?
If you live in Spain, you should keep in mind that, although the sales are made from China, almost all sellers have warehouses in Europe, so you will not have to pay extra if the order is shipped from them.
If you choose to ship from China and your order is valued at more than 150 euros, AliExpress will not charge VAT, but if your order is stopped by customs, you may be asked to pay it. We always recommend that you calculate the final price with VAT to see if the purchase suits you.
To avoid problems, always choose products that have shipments from European warehouses or that you can buy in AliExpress Plaza.
Can sellers make us save VAT?
To increase their clientele, some sellers may request that shipping from China be selected, even though they ship from their warehouse in Europe.
As in products valued at more than 150 euros, VAT and tariffs must be paid when the package arrives in Spain, when selecting the shipment from China, AliExpress will not charge VAT.
As the seller will then ship the bike from its European warehouse, VAT will not be charged upon arrival in Spain (because it will be shipped from this country) and you will save around 21% on your purchase.
We recommend saving screenshots of the ad or post for proof, though several vendors are implementing this without issue so far.
