Question re: duties on items from CRC

[Capricorn]

now thats interesting, because the most recent order of mine from CRC,(661 Core saver (chest and back protector sleeveless vest), and gloves) got slammed for over R800 on an order of just under R1900.

 

 

 

[Capricorn]

For everyone else's interest, item+duty code used on the SAD500 I received with my CRC order:

 

full finger gloves (DH):4016.99.90/1

 

661 Core Saver (integrated spine and chest protection):6109.90.00/5

so if i wanted to buy a bell sweep but then i would have to pay taxes....so could i then pirchase a cheap break lever for the bike and hope the pass it and not pay tax???

To show you how useless they are

 

4016.99.90 is other articles of rubber (15% duty)

6109.90 is t shirts of other textile materials (30% duty)

 

Its what your invoice says, bike parts you might get away with it. Helmut you probably not going to.

 

Capricorn do you have individual values and ill show you how it was calculated

i was looking to bring in a carbon frame formyself. What would that code be and VAT, import taxes etc?

I think the more expensive stuff should still be cheaper to bring in, it's the less expensive stuff that may be worthwhile at your LBS

[Capricorn]

hey..

 

 

 

I do have the individual values. They gave me a summary sheet of the costs, duties and corresponding codes. It was off that sheet that I managed to determine which code was used for each item, but indirectly so.

 

 

 

T-shirts??? lulz Now how to get my monies back cos I still need some knee and shin guards

Take this for example:

Conti Race King UST = R 675 per tyre @ LBS and R 505 (incl. postage and VAT) @ CRC.

Still way cheaper than @ LBS!

whilst the LBS has the right to a living, we have a right to shop where we can exercise the right to get more bang for our buck. Warrantee concerns included, the choice is ultimately the buyers. LBS loyalty is as useful as Political party loyalty.

 

So unless someone starts making damn high quality components in ZA, i go with the cheaper option.

Agreed!

i'm pretty much ok with the prices of stuff at my LBS but somehow every time i take something in for a minor repair i end up with a whopping bill. Makes me think 2x about going there.

Just got my order today, the VAT on mine was calculated was at 15.31% and no duty charge, only a R25 Clearance fee from the post office

[Weight Weenie]

Well I thought I wold get a moerse bargai on a Bell Volt from crc but with all the tax and fees it seems the saving is quite minor

How does your total bill compare to a "local" buy....?

 

[gummibear]

I just collected my order and had to pay R2878.61 on a R19k order.Saved R5800 on what i was quoted by various shops in SA.

 

Took 13 days but that was with 2 holidays in between.
