15315479 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I would like to order som stuff from them, but have no idea what additional cost there would be on duty costs VAT etc. Any help?
Edge_Design Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 15.4% VAT and no duties on bike parts, only on complete bikes and clothing...
Face Plant Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 no duties on bike parts? so i wounder if they will take a total bike apart and throw it in a box for you? where do you pay the VAT? at the post office
Li Mu Bai Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 15.4% VAT and no duties on bike parts' date=' only on complete bikes and clothing...[/quote'] not sure where you get 15.4% from, but my experience to date has been 14% VAT on your purchase price (if the exchange drops by the time it arrives in SA, too bad for you) and then there is a R25 clearance fee. On clothing purchased, it has been the same luckily - no extra duties there (perhaps someone isn't doing there job properly).havent ordered a complete bike, but that may have an extra duty on it.
Eugene Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 VAT is at 14%, but when the VAT is calculated there is a 10% upliftment on the item. For example, if the value is R100.00, VAT will be charged on R100 plus 10%, R110.00.A R100 item will cost:Item R100VAT (R100 x 1.1 x 14%) R15.40 R115.40 There are no duties on cycling equipment
Edge_Design Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 VAT is 14% on 110% of the purchase price for imports, which is the same as 15.4%... could try and get them to break the bike down, but if they decide to be difficult, be prepared to pay the duties...
IanW Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Got this from a post on Chit Chat forum: Vat is calculated at Cost of goods + 10% =R ? x14% = VatEgR1000 + 10% =R1100 x14% = R154.00So, 15.4% would be correct.
Li Mu Bai Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 interesting... 10% upliftment for what I wonder. probably refreshment money. 3 weeks of Toyi-Toing is hard work, even for postal workers.

They even mark clothing as bike parts if there is a part involved too. Just that many of their brands are quite rare in these parts so remember should anything F@#k out you're on your own, its not fair to expect our local bike shops and wholesalers to help you out with issues should they arise.
jugman112 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Be carefull if you are ordering clothing and shoes me and my buddy just ordered 6 pairs of shoes and other stuff and we got hit with 25% import duty and a customs duty. If you have a mate in the UK get the stuff sent to him and then get your mate to send it as a gift.
JPW# Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Not sure what guys are on about the VAT, I have ordered stuff from them and paid no VAT no duty no nothing!.... The facts I have is .... 34% duty on helmets shoes and frames the rest is duty and Vat free.
knersis Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Vat free if the item is marked as a gift, if there is a invoice you will pay vat. knersis2009-09-17 04:24:11

Having made use of it to return a faulty order, they were prompt in sorting it out and sending me back the correct item. As with most things if your LBS gives crap service you are on your own too.
