    I bought the Jordan 1 bred last week, shipping was R788 which sucked. When the item arrived in JHB and I was charged R1 580 for duties/ taxes. My costs went from R3800 including shipping to around R5400, lol drip is forever but nah fam. I'm not importing shoes anytime soon, that's for sure.

    I love sneakers and because I work on a cruise ship it’s always cheaper for me to buy it in the UK or USA so I been sitting with 20 pairs some of it I usually give away after 6months when you buy directly you pay cheaper

  • @bensonchan1984

    Technically, it is not the “10% markup” from Customs. It is actually Customs purposely inflates the FOB price by 10% before Customs charges 15% VAT on the goods imported. Of course, you also need to pay VAT on the Customs Import Duty as well. The sum of these two VATs will be the total Customs Import VAT which an importer will pay on an imported item in SA.

    How long does it take to receive your shoes after purchasing it? I'm based in Cape Town.

    On the stockx app they have a processing fee of 4.95USD and shipping fee of 40USD.. are these excluding the other charges that you mentioned? Also when doing the calculations do I use the price I pay for the shoe excluding the shipping and processing fee or not?

      You'll need to declare a value for the shipment when shipping it. That will be the value you will be charged duties on.
