PlayOn Hi all, I am looking to buy product from musiciansfriend. I want to know the following What percentage import duties are paid on musical equiment in RSA? OK, put it simper. I want to spend $1500, what will my approximate landed cost be after shipping / duties etc. I know shipping costs depends on weight / size. Lets use an example of a Fender Strat for measure. Your input will be highly appreciated
Reinhard Price of guitar + approx. $230 for shipping = Purchase cost. Then you ad VAT to that, so 14% of your $1730. If you want a little help with shipping cost, wait until they have a sale on. It helps if you are on their mailing list. Keep in mind they only shipped used gear here.
