Import Tax on smartphones.

Collected the phones M calculation of 30% was right on the money, the only issue is if customs decides to access an extra $50us for freight. I'm yet to figure out why they do this. I can only assume cause dem badmind lol

Ok so all you had to pay was 30% of the total cost of the device? Still a lot. Looking around to see if I cant get one to buy locally. If not then I guess I will have to just get it online. 50US for freight!? How is it these people get away with this!?

its not on every pkg the 50$, just some random customs fee. it works out abit closer to 34-35% when you include the Mailpac or who ever fees
