Swish & Click delivers from EU suppliers to Germany in 2–4 working days.

• No customs checks or duties: As Germany is part of the EU Single Market, goods shipped from another EU member state move freely under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), Art. 28–37 (Customs Union).
  
  
• On-time delivery focus: We work only with EU-based warehousing and logistics partners who can guarantee >95% on-time rates.
  
  
• Regions covered: Full coverage across Germany — from major hubs (Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart) to secondary cities.

For specialised or bulk orders, we coordinate with our certified Far East partners.

We offer two main shipping methods:

• Air Freight (7–15 working days) — Fast delivery, ideal for urgent campaigns or events.
• Sea Freight (35–90 days) — More economical, perfect for bulk orders and seasonal campaigns, arriving through the Port of Rotterdam or Antwerp.

(Not including production time above, and there are various freight options, hence the variable lead times)

As per Union Customs Code (Regulation (EU) No 952/2013), imports into Germany from outside the EU are subject to customs clearance. We provide the required EORI number (EU-wide) for smooth processing.

Import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) applies at the German standard rate (currently 19%) unless goods are re-exported. We ensure correct classification under the Combined Nomenclature (CN code).

When we supply promotional products to German companies, all VAT handling is carried out strictly in line with European and German tax law. Under Article 138 of the VAT Directive 2006/112/EC, as well as §4 Nr. 1b and §6a of the German Umsatzsteuergesetz (UStG), an intra-Community supply is exempt from VAT provided that the goods are transported from one EU country to Germany, that the buyer provides a valid German VAT identification number (USt-IdNr.), and that the seller retains proof of the cross-border movement of goods. In these cases, we issue the invoice at 0% VAT and apply the reverse charge mechanism according to Article 196 of the VAT Directive and §13b UStG. This means that the German buyer, as the recipient of the supply, accounts for VAT directly in their own VAT return, while also being entitled to deduct it as input tax. The process is fully cash-neutral but ensures compliance with German tax authorities.

Every German VAT number provided to us is verified through the official VIES system (VAT Information Exchange System) in accordance with §18e UStG, and the result of that verification is documented. The invoice will always include the buyer’s VAT number, our EU VAT ID and EORI, and the legally required wording: “Steuerschuldnerschaft des Leistungsempfängers – Reverse Charge gemäß Art. 196 MwStSystRL / §13b UStG.” In cases where a buyer cannot provide a valid VAT number, or if the order is placed by a private individual rather than a business, VAT must be charged at our local supplier rate, for example 21% Spanish IVA or 20% Estonian VAT. In such cases the German client may normally reclaim this VAT through input tax deduction (Vorsteuerabzug) under §15 UStG.

For deliveries to Germany from outside the EU, for example from our Far East suppliers, import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer) applies in accordance with the Union Customs Code (Regulation (EU) No 952/2013) and German customs law. In these cases we ensure the correct tariff classification under the Combined Nomenclature (CN) and provide all necessary customs documentation using our EU EORI number, ensuring that German import VAT is correctly assessed and deductible where appropriate.

To preserve the VAT exemption for intra-EU deliveries, we maintain documentary proof of transport in compliance with Regulation (EU) 282/2011, Article 45a. This may include CMR consignment notes, signed delivery confirmations, and carrier tracking details. German tax authorities (Finanzamt) frequently audit this documentation, and we ensure that every shipment is properly supported to avoid any liability.

Swish & Click guarantees that every German client receives a fully compliant invoice, either as a Rechnung mit ausgewiesener MwSt. where VAT is charged, or as a reverse charge invoice where VAT is shifted to the recipient. All documents are prepared in line with the VAT Directive 2006/112/EC, UStG §§4, 6a, 13b, 14, 15, and Regulation (EU) 282/2011, ensuring that your procurement and accounting departments can rely on complete legal certainty.

• Austria (Österreich): Treated the same as Germany (intra-EU, reverse charge if valid VAT).

• Switzerland (Schweiz): Not EU, so subject to customs clearance and import VAT at Swiss rates. We prepare documentation under Swiss MWSTG law.

• Other EU states: Identical to Germany — intra-EU free movement of goods applies.

At Swish & Click, we keep communication simple and reliable. All enquiries are handled in English, ensuring clarity and speed. German businesses can reach us directly by phone, email, or WhatsApp, and every request is answered quickly — no delays and no hidden conditions. We know that procurement teams in Germany need written confirmations they can trust, so we always provide delivery timelines and VAT information in writing.

One of the biggest challenges German companies face when working with domestic distributors is rigidity. Traditional German suppliers tend to operate with fixed catalogues, slow approval cycles, and little flexibility when it comes to sourcing beyond their immediate network. Procurement teams are forced to accept limited product ranges, long waiting times for quotes, and frequent hidden costs for things like design proofs, express handling, or small adjustments. This rigid system does not fit the pace of modern German business, especially when companies need merchandise quickly for trade fairs, corporate events, or international campaigns.

Swish & Click solves this by being a European-wide distributor that combines the reliability expected in Germany with the flexibility of an international sourcing network. Instead of being tied to a single catalogue, we work with suppliers across Germany, the wider EU, and the Far East, giving German companies more choice, better prices, and faster turnaround times. Every quote is transparent and fully compliant with EU and German VAT law, so there are no unpleasant surprises. Where local distributors are often rigid and slow, we are agile, transparent, and built for modern procurement needs.
