THE REAL COST OF IMPORTING SNEAKERS TO SOUTH AFRICA! (and how to calculate)

[@eskaydjhiphopmaniac5442]

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.

[@rasimkazi7086]

What was the shoes price before importing?

[@xderps1818]

I’m pretty sure that’s still cheaper thank buying locally because they charge more to make a profit

[@malone7866]

@@xderps1818 buying locally is definitely cheaper

[@lusandankosi8425]

How long did it take to get delivered?

[@peterslater1987]

Best video yet. That animation was great.

[@SneakerStories]

Thank you!!!

[@conradbo1]

The animation was very well done. It really explains everything in a concise way. Thank you for the video it helps a lot with planning for unexpected costs.

[@spoggie37]

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

[@Mansjushereinnit]

Whats Your Instagram, I think we need to have a conversation😂😅

[@phemelomurray4514]

He starts at 1:51

[@Mundanefitness]

Thought that was only happening with me, the variation on prices is ridiculous 😂😂

[@frankbradley2417]

Customs.....what a nightmare! Great vid 👍🏻

[@OnyxAlucard]

bought clothing for R3700 incl shipping of 30eur, paid R2400 for customs and vat.. was extremely shocked at the amount

[@tdawg5431]

And how long did it take to arrive

[@matthewblignaut2012]

What about shipping costs?

[@JasonScaglia]

Much appreciated - purchased 1st pair of Jordan 1 Chicago 2020’s on their way, bought week ago.

[@JasonScaglia]

StockX btw 👟

[@JasonScaglia]

Just paid and cleared a pair today - cost me R1,440.60.

[@JasonScaglia]

@Stratsman TV Spot on bud ;)

[@AGuerra1997]

Do they charge you customs fees based on the retail value of the shoe or the price you paid to stockx?

[@JasonScaglia]

@@AGuerra1997 this I'm not sure of

[@Michaelmostert]

We really needed this !

[@lehlohonolomasupha9757]

Will those still apply even if I ship used sneakers from GOAT?

[@mrflorist562]

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?

[@ruchirnaidz3660]

Lol I ordered on goat and yes there is more custom fees

[@oratilelegwase6044]

how much more did you pay on customs if I may ask because I used GOAT recently ?

[@zoid_za4680]

I wanted to ask when you buy the shoe where do you find out how much the shoe is with the tariff and vat expenses? Never bought from StockX.

[@willflan7592]

Thank you so much! This explains so much, THANK YOOOOOOU!!

[@SneakerStories]

You're very welcome!

[@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.

[@tumiwilson7482]

So i bought some pants from stock x and they cost $176.00 the shipping fee $60 subtotal is $252.68 how much do you think they are gonna charge me for custom chargers ?

[@chrisgiannopoulos2306]

Super helpful video! Thanks man it helps a lot.

[@saitamagenos-fo7hv]

Is the customs and duties calculated including the delivery fees or just the cost of the shoe

[@__________7474]

Great video. 2 questions. How long does it take to receive your shoes after purchasing it? I'm based in Cape Town. Will it only be the courier I engage with and do I need to make contact with them or wait for them make contact with me.

[@blaeck]

Great video, do the calculate on single items or from the whole package at once?

[@georgedaltonbailanis4232]

If you buy something on sale, do they calculate the tariff on the price you pay or the full value of the item?

[@NjeleMolStudios]

On the price you paid

[@Z00tman]

Thanks for the vid....Any advice of good, reliable online stores besides Stockx where one can import Nikes and Jordans from at good prices?

[@sdds50]

Meanwhile my Australian friends are paying $0 for customs on 20k shoes

[@brandenfoster8033]

Super dope video. Keep them coming!!!

[@deanstein]

I think you left out the 10% mark up in the recap calculation. R1300 + R100 + R210 + R120 = R1730

[@Navojjj]

So do you work out the costs on the original price of the shoe ? Or do you have to work it out on the resell value that’s on stock X

[@zamanimvukela4573]

Resell value, they'll charge you on the amount you paid the seller.

[@sedickabrahams6998]

Very informative brother👍🏽

[@tokelolekola5563]

So how would you calculate it if you buying more than one pair?

[@rafeeq1668]

How long does it take to deliver to your door

[@powerluttrell1882]

where exacTLY in SA are the shoes going to be delivered after buying them on stockX. ?

[@SneakerStories]

Power Mabokwana to whichever address you give them when you Purchase

[@tristansilence423]

what are the customs charges in SA at the moment for a shoe from stockx?

[@adrianphipps3257]

Does this apply to worn sneakers?

[@jabumnculwane3232]

really needed this 👊🏾

[@quiwenhill4105]

I'm trying to buy a pair of shoes from stockx. So I add my card payment method. Does it deduct all those fees automatically from my bank account?

[@lungamaneli9377]

Fam please advise me here. I bought shoes the states, I asked my friend who stays that side to remove the price tags and boxes and then ship them this side. Will I be charged tax and duty fees by customs ?

[@SneakerStories]

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

[@leonoradupreez]

Just don't understand how nike sa do not stock 3xl

[@tblsg7435]

Thank you soo much bruv🙏🏾

[@paulthemba9961]

Just bought Jordans on goat customers are expensive

[@devlinsiebrits1246]

So sad dam i ask my friends to bring me shoes from the STATES and the UK to avoid all these fees.

[@Deancasual]

thanks for this!

[@zakgio2327]

Great video!

[@petervanheerden2133]

The only time I'll likely ever import something again is when I own my own law firm because importing anything is way too rich for my blood 😂

[@fidel9873]

Is customs charged on the retail price or the resell price I’m buying at ?

[@Mansjushereinnit]

Resell Price you’re buying at

[@marymalotha8414]

this is awesome!

[@juniormogotsi5447]

Ncaa video dude, also we have a limit of three imports annually before we gotta get an import license right? Correct me if I'm wrong. I copped some gel diablos and decon jordan 2s from stock x so I've been saving my 3rd purchase.
