So, when ordering, you give them your address and instruction to ship in "the order notes" and not in the form fields for "shipping address"

There is usually a field that asks for "country". You fill this in as UAE?

Does this work?

Seems dreadfully complicated and if I just paid R30k plus for a bike, I don't think I'd sleep at night worrying if it was on it's way.

You could use a freight forwarder like Aramex Global shopper. You can set one up (FNB had a promo where you paid no annual fee to set it up and got R200 off you first shipping) and you get an address in a few different countries around the world. You can then send the bike to that address and they send on sorting out shipping taxes etc. You supply / upload the invoice (which you obviously wouldn't alter to reduce the tax because that would be wrong). 

 

Not sure if Canyon ship for free in the EU but it might be worth sending the bike to your UK Aramex address and forwarding it from there if it reduces the EU sales tax / germany VAT. 

I have used it to send a Frame / fork in a standard bike box and it wasn't too bad. Issue you might have is the tax on a whole bike as that is a lot more than parts Maybe ask them to leave off the grips... then it's only parts, not a full bike! ;)

 

Just a thought.
