buying parts from over seas?

[brad890]

hi guys i was wondering if anyone could help me out. i'm looking at maybe buying some parts and stuff from the USA. but the thing is i dont know how this import duties etc works?

 

 

 

say i want to buy something that costs 100$. that would be about 750 in rands(say 7.5: 1) how much more ontop of that amount would i have to pay on duties vat ect. before i have the stuff in my hands?

 

 

 

thanks

Generally you just pay vat at 14% and a very small handling fee. This excludes clothing though which is heavily taxed
