Budza Posted December 1, 2015 Share SO, I'm returning from the UK towards the end of the month. I've been commuting daily in London- average is about 10km each way. It'll cost me around £60 to get my bike back to SA. Obviously used, I don't think I'm liable for tax..? I have one of these: http://www.thebikelist.co.uk/pinnacle/cobalt-three-2014 I wasn't in the market for something like this in SA, so I don't recall having seen anything similar around... Those in the know - are hybrids available? Would you think it's reasonable to bring something like this back? I don't have a job yet, so commuting feasibility is unknown.. I reckon I could always flog it on here if needed- if it's a bit unusual it may be worth a bit more. IIRC, it cost me £550 new, as in the above link. I've added SKS mudguards. Otherwise, it's stock.

Christian van Zyl Posted December 7, 2015 Share There are a couple of hybrids on the market, I've seen some in the CycleLab stores. Importing a complete bike does have a duty, I think it's 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budza Posted December 7, 2015 Share There are a couple of hybrids on the market, I've seen some in the CycleLab stores. Importing a complete bike does have a duty, I think it's 20%. Apparently bikes/components are 0 duty but incur VAT on declared value +10%. What I can't see is how this applies to USED equipment. Like when importing a NEW laptop, I get that I need to pay VAT/duty etc. When flying in with my used one, I pay nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted December 7, 2015 Share If you flying with it then there's no duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
