Chavo Posted April 1, 2018 Share With the local increase in VAT, is the new total price calculation as follows:TP = (Item price + duty) x 1.164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehosefat Posted April 3, 2018 Share With the local increase in VAT, is the new total price calculation as follows:TP = (Item price + duty) x 1.164 VAT factor is 1.165 not 1.164. Not that it makes a lot of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavo Posted April 3, 2018 Share VAT factor is 1.165 not 1.164. Not that it makes a lot of difference.Thanks. I based the calculation on what was available in the first post on this thread. While 0.001 will make a difference, as you say, it won't be that significant in the scheme of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cippo Posted April 3, 2018 Share With 14% VAT I always added 15.4% to purchase price ex postage. By my new calculations it should be 16.5% now, ex postage and ex bank 3-4% charged by some banks for international online transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG Imports Posted May 3, 2018 Share Had the very same thing and it took 4 days for any tracking info updates, but they did eventually happen. Contacted CRC before the updates showed and they essentially asked me to be patient. The down side is I found out today SkyNet's import handling fee is significantly higher than DHL at R350. My CRC invoice was not particularly massive (well at least I don't think so), so I suspect it's a flat rate. Requests from SkyNet for an explanation of how the fee is calculated has so far fallen on deaf ears.I had the same experience with skynet(R350 handling fee). they took 2 weeks to get my parcel from CRC to me AFTER it was released from customs. Their customer service and call center operators are clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatman Posted June 20, 2018 Share Does anyone have the exact customs code for LED bike lights?I have only paid VAT + 1% and a handling fee to SAPO in the past. I am currently dealing with an LED light worth R513 that is being detained at customs in JHB - had to provide proof of purchase and payment etc. It only took a few days to get from China to JHB via Aramex Global Shopper and then came to a halt at JHB international customs.I did provide the correct invoice initially To Aramex but JHB international customs detained my shipment.An Aramex representative e-mailed me on 19 June with a reminder that I had 48h to submit the required documentation (after waiting since 08 June) Buyer beware Edited June 20, 2018 by goatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cape Town Tank Posted June 29, 2018 Share I am looking at purchasing the Vitus Energie Carbon CR Rival from CRC. (Looks like a very good deal!)I see the cost to deliver to SA is 200 pounds more from delivering to UK. From the above advice I can then add another +- 35% for customs, VAT and duties. That totals to an additional R11 000. Am I better off just to fly to the UK for less and bring back my 'used' bike. Coming from the UK, I would incur no other real costs!
