WTK: Landing costs for shipping in from the USA

God Bless the Black Top*

Hi Guys,

I'm considering purchasing a full coilover set from Miami through ebay. the seller is shipping directly to Trinidad via FedEx. What costs can I expect to pay when landed? i.e. VAT, and any other taxes? Any help from your experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

best you ask fedex, but call 6411 for the operator to get the local no.

customs @30% and i believe VAT as well.......fedex should handle the clearing etc. and u pay them.....u may have to pay them a fee for their additional services....not sure.....as stated before call fedex to be sure. Neutral

thanks man,

the shipping is 240 from fedex. i'm ordering it through ebay on a USD credit card/paypal.

i just need to calculate the costs when landed.

30% duty + 15% vat .... thats it

yes and duty is charged on cost of the item + shipping....
vat is then applied to final cost.

btw which coilover system are you going with?

GEAR_HEAD, i was either going for GAZ or KSport coilovers if i'm bringing them down. i have a WTB post in the classifieds, so far it looks as though i might go with the TEINS that teknet can bring down.

Ignorant Ignis, thanks, i got a PM stating that they charge on weight? but wouldn't that be included in the freight costs?
