Hi everyone,
I’ve been spending my weekends restoring a vintage motorcycle, but finding specific original components locally is becoming nearly impossible. I finally found a specialized supplier in the UK that has the exact chrome exhaust I need, but their listed price doesn't account for what happens when the package hits our local customs.
I am worried that a "good deal" will turn into a financial headache once the extra fees are added at the border. To keep my restoration budget on track, I've been trying to find a reliable way to estimate the total landing cost including taxes.
I found this helpful resource at https://onlinevatcalculator.co.za/ which seems to simplify the math quite a bit. Does anyone here have experience importing small mechanical parts, and do you think the estimates are usually spot on?
