What a joke! Love our awesome land!gotta love it! The value of the invoice is R871.00 however I am being charged R1005 for tax because of the inspection - oh SA government how I love thee
yip here is the breakdown
I asked them to explain and this is what they said:
You are importing a shipment with a value of ZAR 500.00 which as per government legislation it will attract Vat and you are importing nicotine that attract Duty as per commodity, we have nicotine in the country that is sold.
There was a Customs stop and a Customs official was sent out to inspect this shipment for Port of Health to inspect that your shipment is safe for use, that fee is payable by the client and that is why we charged you for it.
Supaswift (Pty) Ltd will charge a Processing and Disbursement fee to clear these shipments on your behalf to South African Customs and this fee is for the electronic systems that is being used ,which was previously paid by Fedex directly.

Ouch!
Ok WTF , i had a package arrive on Friday from the same vendor ( Mt Baker Vapor ) total declared value $113.00 and i didn't have to pay a cent ! Ok mine didnt get stopped by customs because it was just flavors no nic base , but still 1K is ridiculous.
It is ridiculous, I am so so so hesitant to pay! Although i really want it that amount is just depressing!
Seeing as they are saying that nicotine is locally available, perhaps ask them "Where?"
Hmmm that is a good idea
