Enigma77 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Hi Guys. Does anyone know what duties I will pay if I order a mountain bike helmet and shoes from Chain Reaction. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allez Posted December 10, 2012 Share I think helmets are about 25% and shoes 40% (excluding admin fees and price customs puts on the shipment value) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Booysen Posted December 10, 2012 Share Give your local bikeshop the opportunity to match pricing first. 25% Duties + VAT + Shipping for shoes. Not sure about helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted December 10, 2012 Share Rand vs pound is not doing so well. Even on components which only have an extra 15-16% I found CWC to be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePubSA Posted December 10, 2012 Share Was sure its 35% + 14% unless u get lucky ,could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted December 10, 2012 Share Give your local bikeshop the opportunity to match pricing first. 25% Duties + VAT + Shipping for shoes. Not sure about helmets. Nope. Shoes are 40% PLUS 15.5% VAT on that amount. Rule of thumb is CRC-price plus 60% for shoes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianchi Posted December 10, 2012 Share Yeah, shoes are 40% since it falls under clothing/textiles. Shoes and helmets are rarely worthwhile to import yourself, unless it's on a major special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary57 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Just imported a Bell helmet, no duties were charged, it was delivered today. So price with DHL express delivery was R850.00, closest price locally was R1650.00. Ordered on Thursday, delivered today, it is a no brainier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted December 10, 2012 Share Then you clearly did not declare it as a helmet... But don't take my word for it - there are a few Hubbers that works at customs as well as clearing agents on here. Next time you might not be so lucky...
