COMPANY DETAILS

DHL Express Germany GmbH and the importer agree the customs clearance for incoming import shipments until revoked in writing. For this purpose, the importer grants DHL Express a power of attorney for direct customs representation in the name and for the account of the importer for the customs declaration with the specified EORI number. This authorization also entitles to grant a sub-authorization. The sub-authorization entitles to act as a customs representative and to grant a further sub-authorization. Customs clearance is per-formed by DHL Express itself or DHL Hub Leipzig GmbH or DHL Airways GmbH as customs service providers and sub-authorized representatives of DHL Express. DHL Express and its customs service providers are entitled to further subcontract and sub-authorized third parties. Annex I for the settlement of import duties and customs services is an integral part of this order.

If available, the importer shall provide DHL Express with a goods tariff list (incl. eleven-digit goods tariff number) as well as any permits required for clearance or valid binding information (e.g. binding customs tariff information). The importer is aware that incorrect or miss-ing information and documents for the customs declaration may lead to a different assessment or subsequent levying of import duties for which he is responsible. The importer therefore assures that he has provided all information and documents completely and correctly.

The authorized direct representation in accordance with Article 19 of the Union Customs Code also includes the application for post-clearance recovery, reimbursement or remission in the case of customs declarations to be amended or the invalidation of the customs declaration. The importer is aware that the actions of DHL Express or its customs service providers and sub-agents as its direct repre-sentative have direct legal effect against it.

BILLING OF IMPORT DUTIES AND TAXES

OPTIONS FOR PAYMENT ON INVOICE

A. Issue a direct debit authorisation via a valid SEPA mandate for your DHL Express account number

When issuing a SEPA mandate, you will receive a 50 % discount on the costs incurred for using DHL's own deferment account. The additional fee is therefore only 1 % of the import duties paid, but at least EUR 6.25 plus VAT per item handled (Service Duty Tax Processing). DHL Express Germany GmbH is, however, not obliged to utilise its own deferment accounts and may refuse customs clearance of shipments in individual cases and for valid reasons at its own discretion. The invoiced amounts are due for payment within 7 days, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

B. Transfer of customs duties and taxes disbursed by DHL Express Germany GmbH

In the case of bank transfer, the additional fee for the use of DHL's own deferment account is charged as standard in the amount of 2 % of the disbursed import duties, but at least EUR 12.50 plus VAT, per shipment handled (Service Duty Tax Processing). Invoiced amounts are due for payment within 7 days, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Storage as a result of delays attributable to the customer is subject to a storage fee of EUR 11 per shipment and per day + EUR 0.22 per kg/day plus VAT from the 3rd day. Customs clearance is included for up to 5 items subject to-goods tariffs. Starting with the 6th item subject to a goods tariff, there will be a charge of EUR 5.00 plus VAT per item. Paper-based customs clearance (luggage or shipment for private purposes) is charged at EUR 45.00 and returned goods at EUR 40.00 plus VAT per shipment. In the case of multilingualism, the German version is legally binding. This Agreement shall be governed by German law. The court of jurisdiction is Bonn.
