orbeaorca Posted August 12, 2012 Share [ Nope just the 14%When Crc send stuff to RSA they remove Uk vat and send it vat free.We then pay 14 %vat here only but if you have it delivered in the UK even if you pay from here they dont remove UK vat. I made a mistake current UK vat is 20%. You may not actually be saving that much if duty on a full bike is 15%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer4Recovery Posted September 10, 2012 Share So I got myself a Recon Stealth helmet from CRC paid R886 (includes DHL shipping). Do I pay a further 25% on the purchase amount when it is delivered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li Mu Bai Posted September 10, 2012 Share If you are lucky, no, you will just pay vat and clearence (approx 16-17%)If the customs guy is doing his job properly, then you will pay the extra duty for helmets on top of the vat and clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the math, I saved in excess of R4000 bringing in my track bike from Evans Cycles UK, despite the 15% duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was talking about getting it delivered to his mate in the UK and then him bringing it across, and trying to shaft customs. THing is, with the 20% VAT in UK you're actaully shafting yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer4Recovery Posted September 10, 2012 Share Dude... you should have asked BEFORE pulling that trigger! Granted, But didn't found what I was looking for locally.... and so we learn (buying stuff from CRC is not always cheaper).... :cursing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebar Posted September 10, 2012 Share I've often found the local online shops CWC, Buycycle, Probike, Olympic etc. to be cheaper than CRC before even taking into consideration import duty. I buy more parts and tools than clothing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
