Sportsworld.co.za Posted January 22, 2014 Share A complete bike is 15% Duty and also 14% VAT. You might be better to break it up beforehand depending on the shipping cost of the frame etc and the wheels etc seperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porqui Posted January 22, 2014 Share There is a gov. website that gives you all the rates for all sorts of imports. How you classify whatever you import makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTBer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Ek het 'n pel wat in Amerika swot en hy kom 2 keer 'n jaar SA toe. Ek wil 'n nuwe Unicycle koop en ek het gewonder wat sal gebeur as hy se dat dit syne is en hy kom kuier net met hom in SA dis deel van sy bagasie (hy bring dit vir my). Amerika het 'n groter verskyndenheid Uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leona Posted January 22, 2014 Share i just had a new frame and old components sent from england. the frame was a prize but the people who shipped it thought it would be better sending it as warranty.customs were arseholes. had to change the value of everything (limit is 20k btw) and then they wanted proof of export of the broken frame (told them id done it in england) then they wanted proof of purchase. i couldn't provide it but in the meantime they decided to release it with a bill for 2666rand..
