Minion Posted April 5, 2012 Share What are the duties on frames? I am looking to get a frame from Competitve cyclist.No duty, unless you bring in enough other parts at the same time for them to consider it a complete bike. Competitive Cyclists are very good - I got my frame from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukep Posted April 5, 2012 Share No duty, unless you bring in enough other parts at the same time for them to consider it a complete bike.

Minion Posted April 5, 2012 Share Sweet, so it is the selling price + 14% vat and a handling fee?It will work out to 15.4% of the invoice amount (selling price + shipping), due to the way SARS calculates the value for VAT. The handling fee will be around R250 since CC send via UPS/DHL. Edited April 5, 2012 by Edam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyFrank Posted April 5, 2012 Share Just don't order complete bike - the tax is insane Add +/- 37% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted April 5, 2012 Share Just curious. Seems like 29er tyres are getting more and more expensive these days and I have never imported my own because I thought one needed an Import Permit , like for Car tyres. Turns out you don't and they are Duty Free, so I am thinking of going out there are ordering a bunch. Perhaps for re-sale as well. I ordered from bike24 and paid normal i think 15.4% on tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janslabbert Posted May 13, 2012 Share How does it work if I buy something on e-bay? If I pay R100 for a cycling shirt on e-bay, do I calculate the tax on R100 or on what SARS estimate a similar item in SA would cost, eg. R400? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted May 14, 2012 Share SARS use the invoice price, excluding shipment cost. SA item cost is not considered at all. I would stay away from e-bay though, really no reason to buy from there... If you want to import cycling good use Chainreactioncycles, Jensonusa, competitivecyclist.com even AMAZON stocks parts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I pay R100 for a cycling shirt on e-bay, do I calculate the tax on R100 or on what SARS estimate a similar item in SA would cost, eg. R400?What TheV said is correct. The only potential spanner in the works is if SARS thinks the value of the item has been under-declared e.g. you paid R500, but the shipper 'generously' decides to declare it as being valued at R5 and SARS thinks this value is suspect. CRC etc. will not under-declare items, but eBay sellers are usually a bit less scrupulous in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted May 14, 2012 Share I've just spoken to the peeps at the International Mail Centre, and my VAT on my CRC order works out to 13.6%... plus there's a helmet in there which they must have missed... hells yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georges Posted May 23, 2012 Share Hi, can anyone help please. When buying components say from CRC do you pay duties on the RRP or on the actual price paid. ( Retail less discount)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wind Posted May 23, 2012 Share Hi You would pay VAT and import duties on the invoice value ex transport.So not on RRP. If it would get checked by SARS which it seldom gets a little bit more complicated Wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted May 23, 2012 Share There are no import duties on bike parts, only Customs VAT which is calculated on 110% of the cost (ie cost plus 10% x 14%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
