Update:
After a lengthy debate (felt more like a fight) with DHL, my import duties were reduced by R1,000
It's still a lot, but it's better than it was.
Make sure that the sender puts the device under the "electronic cigarette" category when they send it.
My mod showed as a "battery holder" on the tracking data and that's why the duties were so high. They sent it in for review and it was reduced to R823 rand from about R1,860, so that at least is a win.
Still comes down to about R5,000 though, but at least it's a thousand rand less than before.
My next post will be with pictures of my new mod.
Happy vaping.
Happy for you that you saved a R1,000 @zadiac
So the duty on electronic cigarettes must be lower than battery holders
Weird because when i made one of my Reosmods orders, it was shown on the invoice as a 'battery box' and the duty was very low. (Worked out about less than 10% of the value of the order).
