Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 the Following is $2600 for the frame but not sure on shippingYeah got the quote for a frameset and for a complete bike(X1 build).The complete bike actually makes more sense but they want $500 shipping and will only use Fedex.I am really at a crossroads..........

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 If you inport a complete bike you are going to get clapped by duty!They are willing to split it and send as franeset and parts.What are the import duty/VAT costs for importing a bike or parts btw?

Super_mil Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 They are willing to split it and send as franeset and parts.What are the import duty/VAT costs for importing a bike or parts btw?On a complete bike you'll pay 15% duty and then pay VAT on top of that. If they split it for you then you'll only pay VAT on the frame & only pay VAT on the parts (i.e. no duties on bicycle spares), but they would have to be sent as two individual packages (AFAIK). The VAT will work out to 15.4% (as SARS adds 10% to the invoiced amount before applying the 14% VAT). Hairy 1

Must say I prefer fedex over DHL. Will have to get a qoute.

This gives you but a small taste of what us Importers/Distributors have to go through.No walk in the park. Trust me, Andrew at Dial'd is not delaying.Everything has to do with constant comms and the speed at which all entities involved do their work. Being patient is a good thing. The wait is worth it;) trail - er - park, Eddy Gordo and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3

Guest Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 On another note - SA Customs is not fooled They know full-well what is going downThey too keep meticulous records for tracking purposesThe essential part is the frame - that is really what everyone is trying to get there hands onParts can rather be acquired locally as it is not worth the import shlep Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Hairy, Bizkit031 and 2 others 5

I have till now go everything cheaper from over the seas (landed prices) and well worth the 1 week - 2 weeks wait (yes I have been lucky too regarding the posting times) Eddy Gordo 1
