Pro-Funrider Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Wow this helps alot tank you. What does that code mean for example the 6215.00/8 after the gloves?
Mr Giant Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Does this mean that anything that can be worn or considered as a clothing item have a bit of duty attached to it? From what I can see, everything else is excluded.....am i correct in saying that?
ngala24 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 Clothing does pay duty at 40% The code 6215.00/8 is a commodity code for customs, tells them what the article is. The first 4 digit of the code are used world wide. For example 6101 - 61?? Knitted or crocheted clothing 6201 - 62?? not knitted or crocheted Also your knee and elbow pads go to 9506 and are duty free
Weight Weenie Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Typical, I need new gloves and a helmet and they are both about the highest taxed items, Murphy hey...
Capricorn Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 i think the codes and the duty status should be summarised and made into a sticky. awesome info there ngala.
David #7 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Please explain the V A T calculation as it is not just 14%.
ngala24 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 Vat is calculated at Cost of goods + 10% =R ? x14% = Vat Eg R1000 + 10% =R1100 x14% = R154.00 Shoes fall under 6403.19/9 30% Duty
1hill@aTime Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 commodity code or TH tariff heading, but that is probably a sub heading.(6215.00/8) and oh yes the digit at the end is called a check digit... some useless info
Ghostface Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 OK. I just bought some Plastic pegs for my BMX, from a mail order in the US. Was charged R574.56 total incl shipping via USPS. How much am I going to pay at the post office to get my stuff? Just 14% or is it 10% + 14%?
Daft Vader Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 If the item is duty free, then you will pay an effective 15,4% VAT, however if the item has duty, then that VAT effective % will increase. The classification of goods in the HS tariff is not always clear-cut. For example, there are codes which are specific to items and the classification is clear and there are codes which are more general in nature. I would think that the plastic pegs would be classified as parts of bicycles under the Chapter 87 code, but they may also be seen as articles of plastic not elsewhere specified or included which would make them claddifiable within the scope of heading 3926.90 (which if I recall correctly has a 20% duty liability.) The poeskantoor does sometimes charge an "admin fee" but it's usually only about R20 or so. Good luck...
SilverMountain Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Does anyone know what duty would be payable for a cycling computer?
capecyclist Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Does anyone know what duty would be payable for a cycling computer? +1, was just going to ask that. What about other electronic items like hifi gear etc?
