CAAD4 Posted October 24, 2020 Share I brought in some Shimano sandals from the UK last year. Invoice must be clearly marked GIFT, and value must not exceed R1500.00. You are not charged VAT or import duty, They still tried to charge me VAT and duties and I had to phone the shipping agent and tell them to read the invoice properly!!Should have been double for sandals.... Sandals?? Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joevan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Ah okay. Thanks for the info! Forget to add, you are only allowed two "GIFTS" per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joevan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Should have been double for sandals.... Sandals?? Sandals with cleats. Due to a MTB accident 3yrs ago that left me with a spina\l cord injury now ride a 3 wheel recumbent trike. Need to clip my feet in but cannot get my feet into shoes. https://za.ciclimattio.com/s/shimano/sd500-shoe-2019/?id=20202&m=31226&d=108338.

Hairy Posted October 24, 2020 Share Ja I knew of the tax on clothes, I was just surprised as it was genuinely a gift from my mom and it said so on the description. Suppose many people take a chance I dunno but none the less I’m glad it arrived.Next time ask her to crumple it up, mess a little jamb on it and send it with a letter saying you left it there?

DR ◣◢ Posted October 24, 2020 Share I believe marking as “gift” hasn’t worked in forever. SARS don’t give a hoot about your birthday. They want their piece of the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted October 26, 2020 Share Anyone know what the total import fees would be on a set of wheels at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted October 26, 2020 Share Anyone know what the total import fees would be on a set of wheels at the moment?its based on the value of the wheels. Value * ROE + 10% * 15% vatThen you will pay the couriers admin/clearing charges, usually around R200-350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
