Schnavel Posted April 13, 2018 Share Customs 25%, then you'll pay another 15.4% for VAT and some other thing, then you'll pay a clearance fee anywhere from R70 (sapo) to R150 (dhl). It's now closer to 16,6% with the new VAT increase. usxorf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 13, 2018 Share My last shipment came in with Skynet, and not DHL. The result was a R350 handling fee + the relevant Customs VAT (shifters = 0% duty). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavo Posted April 14, 2018 Share Paid the same with SkyNet. Was bummed but they cared rocks, not much you can do about it. At least I know to factor it in for future purchases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right ?A = R1000B = R1000 * 25% = R250C = ([A + B)*1.1*0.15 = R206.25D1/2 = handling fee from courier (see below)E1 = A + B + C + D1= R1000 + R250 + R206.25 + R150 = R1606.25E2 = A + B + C + D2 = R1000 + R250 + R206.25 + R350 = R1806.25 A = FOB valueB = Custom DutiesC = Added Tax Value (Customs VAT)D1 = Handling fee DHL = R150D2 = Handling fee SkyNet = R350E1 = Landed cost through DHLE2 = Landed cost through Skynet Now look for the helmet locally (If available) and see how the price compares. Sometimes it will work out cheaper to get it locally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk slickjay007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend brings components in quite often - and finds that DHL splits the shipments into 2-3 = R150/shipment. Compare that with Skynet = R350.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkDHL doesn't split the shipments Crc or whoever the sender is does that? Or else DHL is just taking the p#ss, it should be one invoice one inspection/clearance fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
