Hi everyone,

I am currently in the middle of a project where I need to bring in some heavy-duty industrial machinery from a supplier overseas into Durban. While the initial purchase price was a great deal, I am now starting to worry about the total "landed cost" after the South African Revenue Service takes their cut.

I’m trying to get a clear breakdown of the import charges south africa specifically for heavy engineering tools. Does the age of the machinery or its weight affect the final bill at the port?

I’d really appreciate any advice from local business owners who handle large-scale shipments regularly.

Thanks in advance.
