Import duties on cycling goods

[Tony datoy]

I recently ordered a Garmin Edge 1000 from Evans, the processing was quick and efficient. I paid on Thursday and the item was delivered using DHL Express on Tuesday.

Shipping was free. Check out there shipping policy on bulky items as I don't think there is free delivery.

 

I haven't read the whole threa just browsed . Most talk about crc being very reliable . How are Evans cycles ? And what % of the total price would I pay on a wheelset ? Would use a courier . Have never ordered from the uk,but there are some great deals on Evans.

no there isn't free delivery . Wiggle has free delivery though Same wheelset would save me a bit of dosh

No. Not like this

 

The value of the item is inflated by 10% before VAT is calculated. It's not another 10% levy, it just increases the VAT rate to 15.4%

 

Ie VAT = 14% x (value of item + 10%)

 

So calculation would be

 

((Item + duty + 10%) x 14%) + (item + duty)

 

Or

 

(Item + duty) x 1.154

 

So for a full bike it's (cost+15%)x(vat+10%)=(costx1.15)x(14%x1.1)

 

Ends up being a 32.71% total levy

Hi Myles Thanks for the simplified formula. Just checking on the formula for a complete bike - should it read:

(costx1.15)x((14%x1.1)+1)

i.e. (costx1.15)x(1.154)?

 

I have had the following confirmed by SARS customs officials and personal experience. If the company exporting the complete bike from the EU can show in the proof of origin certificate that any materials (i.e. raw materials and or components) used in the manufacture of the bike that do not originate in the EU constitute less than 30% of the exworks value then the General Rate of Duty of 15% falls away. The EURO1 Certificate of movement require this proof of origin.

Jeez, seems like you are just here to correct everyone. But thanks for the update.

No duty except the 10% AVT and 14% VAT i.e. Customs value x 1.154

Wasn't sure where to ask this. 

If I purchase something in Germany and have it delivered in Dubai as I am going there for work, would I be charged tax in Dubai upon delivery? 

Thanks for helping.

anyone??

Honestly don't know Dubai's taxation laws, but yes you would be subject to taxation according to their laws and tarriffs on imported goods. 

 

You could claim it back upon returning to RSA depending on how long you're there for, but then you'd pay local VAT & duties

Thanks Myles.

Appreciate the reply.

OK so this is seems like the right place to ask my question, and apologies for not reading the whole thread to find a potential answer, but it's long (that's what she said) and I'm a little too busy at the moment (that's what..nevermind). 

 

So, let's say a guy called Jeff wants to buy a pair of cycling shoes. They cost R2000 in RSA, and they cost R1000 on CRC. Which option should Jeff choose, and if the answer is CRC, by how much will Jeff be out of pocket at the end of the entire process?

hahaha, declaring laziness and then expecting to be spoon-fed: wrong forum buddy

 

if you unlazy yourself and sharpen your pencil, please goto the very first page in this thread: the customs tariffs are there, and the calculation (kindly provided by Myles) you need to calculate damage$. Happy fingerpulling!

Ask yourself:  Are cycling shoes clothing or are they cycling equipment?

Rates that were posted almost 7 years ago - not sure if they are still applicable. But if so, I will apply them and Myles' formula. Much appreciated. And yes, the comments about laziness and pulling finger are deserved.

Clothing.
