Germany’s rigorous standards and high quality have always been popular with international shoppers. German baby products, health supplements, kitchenware, and bathroom products are dominant in the international shopping scene and are "must-have" items during sales events. Like China, Germany operates under a post-tax system, meaning the price tag you see in stores already includes taxes. Here are some important tips for shopping from Germany. Grab your notebook and take note—don’t miss out!
1). Language Tools: Google Translate or other translation apps.
2). Dual-currency Credit Card: A universal credit card with VISA, MasterCard, or AE logos. Some also support PayPal and other third-party payment options.
3). Unit Conversion: Germany uses different weight and size units from China. Germany follows the European metric system (Euro sizes).
4). Shipping Forwarders: For websites that don’t offer direct international shipping, you can use a forwarding company. You can choose services like ShipYouNow, which uses German DHL to ship worldwide.
Each country has its own appeal for international shopping. For example, many people prefer to buy baby products and home appliances from Japan, while U.S. shoppers often buy cosmetics, skincare, clothing, shoes, electronics, toys, etc. However, what stands out in German shopping is the health supplements and baby products, which are highly sought after by international shoppers.
