where you guys importing from?
i.e. site?
well it depends on whether customs feels like taxing. i got taxed about 10% of the value when buying from the virgin islands, but customs taxed me on something that came from ocean shores but said it came from the virgin islands. i took customs on about this complaining that i hadn't been taxed on various things. i was told that "they never make a mistake and that you can't get anything for free" i.e. you are supposed to get taxed on everything that comes into SA. but as a lot of my stuff from overseas was just posted in my box you never know. i do know that since i complained one of my orders hasn't arrived (and i never lost anything before), paranoid well of course. but to answer your question: hope you don't get caught by customs and think about 10% of the value that has to be declared on the customs sheet.
