[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 94538, member: 3"] To be safe, budget for 20% customs and duties, and 14% VAT. The customs and duties can vary, sometimes being as low as 10%, but frequently up to 20%. I think it depends on who is clearing your items as I have not been able to pick up any trends around what constitutes which percentage. How it works is that the courier company will give you a phone call as soon as your items have landed here. They will then ask you whether you would like them to clear the package for you. You answer yes to that question. After that, another person from the courier company will call you and ask you to pay an amount of money into their bank account. This will constitute the customs and duties, VAT, as well as the clearing fee charged by the courier company. When you have sent them proof of payment, they will deliver it to your door. You can get a step-down transformer reasonably easily, obviously depending on the wattage you need it to handle. Budget between R 500 and R 1000 for that one. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
