Sportsworld.co.za Posted December 11, 2013 Share Yep, you do. Add 45% Duties, 14% VAT, PO handling fee of R35 or about R150 for courier disbursement fees, and customs use their own exchange rate which is usually a little bit higher than the published rate (you can google it if you're keen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
