on another note.. my m.a+ pants have arrived and the import fees is more than what i have expected.. paid almost $400 just for the import fee... but wont be at home to get them till next week. anyway, not happy at all.

wtf dude are u kidding! $400 for imports tax.. so is this cuz it was over $1,000 (i dont have any experience in this)

wow bt that comment has me pumped... better than all of them iyo

[fenrost]

quite dumbfounding actually, there's so many charges - entry fee, GST, Duty/tax, security fee and another gst of the security fee... ah oh well.

yeah, the item was delcared 600 euro.. thats like aud$1030.. so if the item were really 1030.. it's like paying 40% of the item EXTRA just for fee...

[jbone]

btw which ma+ pants were these and what did the pants cost w/o the taxes fen?

i'm assuming they were over 1K, how much would the overall total of taxes decrease if they were under?

[fenrost]

it's the 5 pockets m.a+

i really can't remember but i paid almost 1500 i think, so this pants in the end cost me near 2k. lol.

[Chin]

why did you have to pay so much for those ridiculous fees fenrost? I got charge once for a parcel worth over 1k but i was only charged for 10%GST fee but that's years ago tho.

[DJI]

should have got the 8 pocket pants lulz.

[Chin]

jeez....most expensive pants ever..i hope they atleast fit you well man..

[jbone]

haha thats some serious coin man... but they are nice pants

gonna cop the aviator hoodie so im worried about these taxes

[fenrost]

i really have no idea chin, they send me the tax invoice and that was the amount i have to pay with some of the details of the charges... which i still have no idea what they meant.

well, good thing they dont have the 5 pockets or ..

Imported goods with a value of more than A$1000

* Irrespective of how your imported goods arrive in Australia, you will be required to lodge a formal Customs import declaration if their value is above $1,000, and to pay the calculated duty and taxes.

*

o duty, where applicable, is based on the classification of the goods within the Customs Tariff Act 1995. Goods and Services Tax (GST) is also payable on most goods at a rate of 10%. Refer to example 3.

Example 3: Import of goods (other than tobacco products or alcoholic beverages) valued above $1000

AUD$

Customs value (Cval) 2000.00

Customs duty (Duty) @ 5% of Cval 100.00 (Payable)

International transport and insurance or postage (T&I) 150.00

Value of the Taxable Importation (VoTI) (Cval+Duty+T&I) 2250.00

Goods and Services Tax (GST) @ 10 per cent of the VoTI 225.00 (Payable)

Total payable Duty + GST 325.00

still doesn't make sense

[jbone]

yeh judging from that example it's weird you have to pay what you are..

worked out it should only be $247.50

[fenrost]

^ thats what the website says.. but apparently it's not what it says in my invoice.. perhaps ups charges more?

let me scan the tax invoice..

[btbam]

Import duties and taxes = 27.5%

If you put the other *bull shit* charges they add it pretty much comes to 30%.

so really you should of payed around $300...

If you played more perhaps they taxed you on the freight charges as well.

yo does So Ang even own ccp derbies? when I met him he was wearing repetto style moma's, said they were the shoes he wore most often as they were comfortable haha.

[Ivans On High]

my CCPs are in transit, expected delivery tomorrow. Super fast. Apparently shipping cost $200US!

[TTT]

just subscribed to issue 001 and 002 of Some/Things magazine. The teasers look good so far

[Ivans On High]

Yeah, I think it looks good too, but I was much more tempted when it was $45USD. I'' wait and see if bt will get it, then decide.

Are they still offering free shipping?

[TTT]

^ Yea thats true.

But yes, free packaging/shipping included in the price. 80 Euro for both.

The stuff on Michelle Lamy looks sick.

[Ivans On High]

Thats pretty good. Will make a great coffee table book. Now all I need is a coffee table...

hmm i might have been mistaken then... thought he was rocking them during fashion week? :confused:

btw, i bought the tokyo superguide recently - followed the prompts but in the end there was no download link?... ive emailed [email protected] but no reply.. is there a mod in the forum that i can pm regarding this? tia

[DJI]

lulz, why'd you buy that mel? I think arto's guide on SZ would be far more useful unless you're planning on copping bape while you're there haha.

yeah SA was rocking his moma's:

don't think he'd want to be running around paris in sissy p, especially after breaking his foot with a pair a couple of years back. :eek:
