Greenline.jp Additional costs??

[T88 ON BOARD]

Hey all,

I know there is a million threads on Greenline. But i have searched with no luck in what i need...

Im about to buy $4795 of head parts for my gtr from Greenline Motorsports...

Im kinda worried how much i will be charged additional when the parts arrive

Greenline have said this:

'' From our experience in Australia, the import system works as follows:

Cost of products + 15% (maximum) import duties + cost of shipping + 10% GST.

Note that for some parts such as engine management, there is 0% duties and 3% for turbos. "

Does anyone know how to calculate all of this ??

Let me know

ASAP i have 5 days : )

thanx in advance

Have a look at the customs website. All the info you need is there:

It should come to $5993.75 with max import duties +10% GST.

they will tax different things tho.

so some things will attract import tax and duties. and some bits wont.

just get some dodgy recipts made up for a cheaper price and dont pay any duties or gst, some people do it from what i heard

T88,

I certainly wouldn't follow this advice as is "always_me" going to pay the fine or do the time for what is a Federal offence? I would also advise against giving such stupid advice on what is a public forum...

Out.

I know you are not "Telling" him to do it, but "just get some dodgy recipts...." sounds like advice, which is what I advised against giving. A fair point I think...

Import duty is only 10% now ( from january 1 2005) the rest is correct .

Invoice total +10% duty +10% gst on the total , no duty on computer ( but only if you dont tell them its a car part ) the reduced duty on turbos is only if you tell them they are compressors ( not car parts ) . Don't do the dodgy invoice thing , if you get cought it will cost you heaps more and a criminal record as well .

Always me : 90% of people dont do the dodgy invoice thing , whenever i get something from o/s i pay the tax as i'm sure most people do .

Will everything be taxed??

They parts will be Sent in 3 different box's...

1 in april which is worth $2256

2 end of march worth $2027 and $514

Let me know

[Guest Mashrock]

some bits will be taxed.

and then sometimes they dont even bother looking at your box.

its the luck of the draw really.

Not that this probably matters, but i've bought quite a few things from greenline and never had any 'extra' payments, eg customs tax etc

[T88 ON BOARD]

Its all good i figured id take my chances and no matter what i need these parts so i might aswell Pay the TAX involved...

Thanx everyone

if customs pick up on what your importing you have no choice.... you pay the tax or you dont get your goods.... its easy as that.

You may be lucky though.... lots of people have had stuff come through without it even being looked at, lots of people have had their stuff checked, i guess it just depends on the day

Be careful do your sums properly and dont let the tax man catch you
