I want to bring in some stuff from chain reaction cycles.

 

1) does anyone have any tips?

2) what do i get charged by customs when my goods arrive

14% of what you bought, you have to buy over a certain amount on CRC to get free shipping otherwise they charge an arm and a leg for shipping.

 

Dont buy shoes or clothing, they dont get classified as parts.

 

What you buying?

Clothing 30% plus VAT, they have to fill in a detailed packing invoice so SARS will be sure to get their "pound of flesh"

won't they get shipped with the bike parts...and how much will that whack be around?

New to CRC.

 

So if i'm getting Juicy 3's that are like R750 x 2 = R1500

 

Is it:

 

R1500 + 14% + 10% ?

 

Cuz the 10% is shipping and 14% is VAT?

Is that right?

Search and you shall receive:

CRC+Import

Schedule 1A has all the duties

 

Duties on shoes and shorts is 20% from CRC (EU). VAT is charged on import duties.

Shipping from CRC is ?10, ?25 or free depending on what you order.

Base your costing on the GBP amount (shown in Your Basket). CRC doesn't always use up-to-date exchange rates.

 

A summary of the above links is:

0.) Get order amount with shipping

1.) Do currency conversion.

2.) Add 2.75% for bank charges.

3.) Add duty.

4.) Add about 16.5% for VAT charges

5.) Add R25 clearance fee.

 

Summary of summary:

Total = ((Order + shipping) x bank rate) + ((Order + shipping + duty) x 0.154 x SARS rate) + 25

 

Bank rate ≈ Official exchange rate + 2.75%

SARS rate ≈ Official exchange rate + 7%
