[QUOTE="SphereCDI, post: 1090856, member: 351"] Howsit howsit. [member=16849]marantz123[/member] we deal with this very often, but case in point is that regardless of what the item is and what the cost is, should an item be purchased and sent to a local Freight company the local taxes would either be claimed back, on formal export, if the paper trail is correct - ie the sales agent is exporting the product officially, and is registered to do so, or the costs are incurred but don't become part of the calculated landed cost on the ZA size. you're correct in saying tax on tax doesn't sound right - but it all comes down to that little piece of paper issued with the product. In so many cases we've seen end users and customers bring product in from overseas for far cheaper than what it costs in SA, even against what we sell at trade, because they've McGuyvered the original invoice for a far lower declared value than the actual cost on the goods. The onus then rests on the customs guys who submit for clearance to be clued up enough as to what the products actually are. If you get caught its a hefty penalty. Having very clearly stated HS codes helps massively, yes. [/QUOTE]
