singletrackmind Posted February 15, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singletrackmind Posted February 15, 2009 Share Forget the shorts and socks. Customs will whack you!!! The wheels and tyre will be ok though, only 14% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darnijl Posted February 15, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted February 15, 2009 Share Search and you shall receive:CRC+ImportSchedule 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 shipping1.) Do currency conversion. 2.) Add 2.75% for bank charges. 3.) Add duty.4.) Add about 16.5% for VAT charges5.) 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%Edman2009-04-29 11:20:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
