[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1188741, member: 746"] Its not financially worth buying a unit like HOLO Red from some discount house in Europe, only having to pay shipping and VAT Example: HOLO Red in Europe - 800 Euros (there may be less 21% if VAT is deducted) Shipping - 200 Euros Add bank Forex fees (what FNB Forex charge) - R 330,00 Landed cost thus (at today's exchange rate) - R 19 880,00 VAT 15% - R 2 982,00 Total - R 22 862,00 And if something goes wrong (unusual but the state of our electricity supply is not pristine), then it can be a headache Note: When I imported the Lumin, I took a chance and specified a Customs HS code which attracts 0% duty. You might not be so lucky [/QUOTE]
