Frequently asked

What is the import duty on xenon lamps in Germany?

2.7% EU third-country duty (TARIC 8539 41 00, erga omnes).

Which documents do I need to import lamps into Germany?

Commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill; importer's EU EORI number. For lamps placed on the EU market the importer takes on WEEE/ElektroG registration duties — check with your Elektro-Altgeräte-Register status.

What mains supply do projection booths in Germany use?

230 V / 50 Hz (400 V three-phase). The lamp itself runs from the projector's own DC rectifier, so mains voltage affects the rectifier, not the lamp; it matters for lamp accessories and test rigs.
