The new Reich is almost here. No honestly, I really need an alternative. Customs would make this thing too expensive.
how does a roundtrip to australia sound. no seriously, if you can get a new unused australian n3ds, i somewhat doubt they come with 9.3 or higher. and if it is, you can still sell it again (or keep it, as the EU release will be 9.3+ for sure anyway).

using math, i estimate that shipping + import taxes should come down to about 260-280€ total, when ordering on play asia.

I got mine off eBay but it doesn't look like the guy has any more units right now. PM me if you want his details

Clue me in on customs tax please?

I ordered 3 from Play-Asia. They are shipping them to Florida... How much do you guys think i would have to pay and is it per system? or just the order?

Can someone do a calculation for me.. this is what i get..

Edit
Total customs value (FOB): US$660.00
This is the amount that customs values your import at
- Duty: US$0.00
- Merchandise Processing Fee: US$0.00
Total import duty & taxes due: US$0.00
This is the amount that needs to be paid to customs
Total landed cost:
US$698.00​
This is the total cost of importing, including product, shipping, insurance and import duty & taxes

Tip: When FedEx invoices you the custom charges, email them about the admin charge and they will take it off.

Though I don't see the point in importing when it's released soon.

It was:

Gegenstand Artikelpreis 259,99 USD (ITEM)
Kurs 1.269300 203,83 EUR (USD -> EUR)
Frachtkosten 77,80 EUR (Shipping)
Zollwert 282,62 EUR (total custom)
EuSt. 33,35 EUR (?)
Einfuhrumsatzsteuer 315,98 EUR (very total custom?)

Zölle / Custom 60,04 EUR (Custom to pay)
Vorlageprovision Fedex 10,75 EUR (Fedex for doing the custom)
19Umsatzsteuer 2,04 EUR
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invoice from fedex 72,83 Euro

Unfortunatly I don't know what admin charge means and why they should cancel it then? I already paid so it doesn't matter anymore.

I ordered the Australian one because of the firmware. Its unclear which firmware is introduced when releasing in Europe and I didn't want to risk it.
