TNT1 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Hi Chris Have you searched the forums for this ? It has been covered, and I recall a few sticky's that should give you the information that you want.
Raab Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Dammit, i keep clicking on TNT1's avatar, it's soooo distracting
Jaco-fiets Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Ordered some Giro socks from CRC about 4 weeks ago and received it this morning. I just astonished about the duties and stuff. I paid R294 for the 4 pairs of socks and then customs slams me with another R194 for VAT and duties. Can this be possible?

Can this be possible?Yes it is clothes so import duty is high, same happend to me when I bought Livestrong cycling clothes....you know you could have bought 4 pairs of Giro/Cannondale/Mongoose/GT/FOX socks at you LBS and paid R160 for them

Selling price was something like R70/pair but after the extras it works out to about R120/pair. Still cheaper than high end socks on our rock
The Ghost Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 I bought clothes from overseas once, never again.The tax on textiles is ridiculous, protecting local jobs blah blah bla.
kandui Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Anybody ever get nailed when importing bicycle tyres?
Capricorn Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Anybody ever get nailed when importing bicycle tyres? never. Why you asking?
kandui Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 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.
Minion Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Perhaps for re-sale as well.You might need a permit for that. SARS limits you to importing around R20k worth of stuff per year, for personal use.
Dirt De Vil Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Recieved my first CRC order yesterday through parcel force (R300 extra) in 4 working days. The weight 15.5kgs, with the only hassle that CRC split the order into 3 parcels. Bought a 2 seat childrens bicycle trailer with stroller kit for R2427 and paid only R373.63 VAT and R30 clearance fee and some spares for R567 and paid only R87.30 VAT and again R30 clearance fee due to the multiple parcels. Zero duties. Highly impressed by the CRC deals and service.
TNT1 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Can this be possible? Yes. It's to protect the local clothing industry.
kandui Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 You might need a permit for that. SARS limits you to importing around R20k worth of stuff per year, for personal use.Would do it through my business. Am registered as an Importer.
