Ed-Zulu Posted December 5, 2017 Share I am looking to have a second-hand Garmin unit sent here... what am I in for? Thanks in advance.1. Are you buying it?If yes and the parcel is market as commercial and sent as a sales item, it will be cleared in according to that HS code and duties will be applied (this assuming it is from a shop, if from a dude on e-bay that won't register the sale, you might get lucky) 2. If you can convince whoever is posting it to you to mark as a gift, no duties will be applied.In this instance I'll opt for DHL/FedEx etc for delivery as it will be more secure. Trust this helps pmswanepoel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted December 5, 2017 Share 2. If you can convince whoever is posting it to you to mark as a gift, no duties will be applied.I Trust this helps Not strictly speaking true. Duties are levied on the value of the item, not on how you acquired it. Ed-Zulu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettas Posted December 5, 2017 Share Not strictly speaking true. Duties are levied on the value of the item, not on how you acquired it. Actually true. Excludes tobacco, liquor and perfume. The value should not exceed R1400 and limited to two gifts per year. Edited December 5, 2017 by Ettas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will tax you on the exchange rate value between 14 to15% so work on 15% dawnh100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted April 3, 2018 Share Anyone have any idea what the import taxes would be on a baby pram? We are needing a specific pram and it is not sold here anymore. It is available on the chicco website but they don't ship here. Also found it on Amazon for $299.99 and it can be shipped here. I have to get it so the import tax won't deter me but just want to know what I will be in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
