nimthor Posted September 29, 2015 Share Anybody imported a helmet from CRC here...what was the duties? Got a Super 2R, paid 30% duties, 10% handling and 14% VAT as I chose DHL as courier. Worked out at about the same price as a carbon full face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been fortunate on the duty front. 1st helmet and first pair FiveTens... I paid duty (back in 2010). But subsequently over the years I have brought in 4 other helmets, and 6 other pairs of FiveTens. All escaping SARS The one helmet (TLD A1, along with a DH jersey, GoPro and accessories) was sent by my sister in the US. She wrapped it like a present and made a fake birthday card so she could declare it as a gift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a little trick that seems to have helped with my streak of duty-free shopping... Besides the TLD A1 shipment, all others were from online stores. (CRC, Probikeshop.fr, Bike-components.de, bike24.de). If I am buying a dutyable item, I add it somewhere in the middle of the cart and load the cart up with silly little non-dutyable items. Like quick links, shifter cable ends etc. All things that are useful as consumables, AND as camouflage for those 1 or 2 dutyable items. I then rely on the fact that the JIMC peeps are lazy when it comes to reading the full pack list, and assume that everything is just parts.

What's nice is it looks like there's actually some sort of local distribution.They list some of the older model NOX composite rims on their website.As an added bonus I see they also flog some sweet protection gear.
