Import costs from Tarty Bikes

[flyluis]

What if your cousin sent you a "present" from the UK?

Unfortunately it will never be un-dutiable. The only way that you can maybe skip duties, if you're a returning citizen and you can maybe wangle the bike through as personal effects. Sometimes they don't thoroughly check the goods for returning citizens. Only a spot check. But if you going to put the original price or market price on the list of goods thats returning to ZA, they will def ask you for a DA65 or you going to pay the full VAT and Duties? Keep the price low low.

 

If it is personal effects, then it's hardly a wangle, isn't it? It's hardly as if you went there with the express intention of defrauding SARS and importing the bike. The personal effects argument would fall apart if you only went there for a month or so though...

So which ever way you look at it, prices might be cheaper but VAT + duties are on border patrol waiting to hand you a bill

I found this website on the net,

It's a pretty decent calculator for bringing stuff into SA. Looks like on an Onza Zoot Dual Disc, you are looking at +-R17500 once it arrives at your door .

Hey all, I have imported 2 trial bikes and I'm selling one, I imported a onza zoot dual disc (I'm using it) and a Onza Zoot 2013, the price for the Onza Zoot 2013 is not 14k or 17k, I'm basically selling for what I bought it for (I imported 2 bikes, so per bike import costs is lower then).

Price R9999.00 Its brand new and not even ridden once, I can even put it back in the box it came in, the pedals are still seeled

 

(If you try to import it on your own now with the high GBP, : R11000.57 + our 10% VAT)

 

(Price without import and tax and all other ssh, R8310.00)

Import cost for one bike R2878.99

Import cost for 2 bikes: R4620.59 (I paid R3476 on a special + when the GBP was lowwer at R15.82)

 

(I'm explaining allot because every one that contacted me asked these questions)

 

Hope this example helped you all

(I didn't pay any duty when I imported, only 10% VAT, nothing else, but I don't know if it has changed from last year)
