Nengun Splitfire coil pack price... am i missing something?

[wrxhoon]

Did anyone mension that they are also cheaper because aussie tax/duty is not include in that price(this is where most if not all of your saving comes from). if you get picked up at customs its about another 25% ontop of nenguns price.

Not to mension costs in retuns if the item shipped is the wrong part or faulty (not likly but possible) also there is sometimes a pretty long wait for parts (weeks to months). yes overseas is cheaper but it does have its risks

Where did you get 25% from ?

Import duty is 10% and then add another 10% gst , thats nowhere near 25 % .

[GTR R32]

Import duty ranges from 0-15% depending on the item. Then 10% gst is added to that.

[wrxhoon]

15 % duty has gone for ever on cars and parts ( 10% ) as of 1st of january 2005 and it will reduce to 5% from january 2010 .

ok ill help you out.... if something costs you 10 oranges and you pay duty of 1 orange to get it in the country(10%) you have now paid 11 orange in total, then johnny howard wants a sum of oranges equal to 10%(gst) of your 11 oranges (1.1oranges)so in total you have now paid 12.1 oranges. 2.1 of those being in taxes making the total amount of taxes 2.1 oranges or 2.1/10 which gives you 21%.....pretty close to 25% (you wouldnt exactly describe 21 as being NOWHERE NEAR 25 would you)

Yoou are correct in your example and i know that i have paid it often enough .

Now 21% is much closer to 20% than 25 % to me , i dont know about you or others .

If you knew how it works why didnt you say 21% in your earlier post ? Or just say 10% +10% on top . By you saying 25 % people think its still 15% duty + 10 gst which we all know is wrong .

so what are the chances of getting taxes? I contacted 'bigsully' and can get some in 1.5 weeks for a price cheaper than Nengun + potential taxes, but more than the current nengun price of $597

I did a bit of a ring around when i ordered my coils, airport dudes, customs and the general advice i got back was, that if the part is under $1000 you are under no obligation to declare it for tax purposes (like getting a present from overseas relitives).... and the same for anything over that, if it is not to be resold in oz (bussiness)....

I was happy with that so i get all my parts from there.... the main downside is the wait mine took 3 weeks but only casue i ordered them during the sold out period......

[oscar32]

I'm just waiting on mine, I thought that price was way too good to not take

[benl1981]

How long do they usually take? I s thee somewhere in Aus you can get them for about 700-750 that have them in stock. Thanks

Are these 6 individual coil packs or one to replace the 6??

[Blitz]

They are a pack of 6.

Easy to fit

Nengun should be back in stock now. I ordered my coil packs around 2 weeks ago and got notification that they were sent yesterday. Now all I have to do is wait for the postman

You sure? We just ordered some X-Box stuff from Japan, was only $300 worth or so. We had no idea about import tax, then $100 bill rocked up in the mail. It was a very nasty surprise.

[benl1981]

So the nengun price of 580 delivered - does this include taxes etc...

[otto]

no!

[benl1981]

So what is the real nengun price then??

[benl1981]

Including taxes???

They can't say a price delivered and then add on extra can they>>???

[ECR033]

Why not?

It's quite simple - Nengun are in Japan, we are in Australia. They have no control over import duties and local taxes here, therefore how can they possibly quote a price including our local taxes when you purchase it from them in Japan.

Just for the record, I'm expecting a bill for GST/Duty on my coils now - apparantly they were pulled up in Customs according to the EMS tracking on my parcel. Hopefully they let them through without slapping me the bill, but I guess it's the risk you take when you purchase from overseas...

I just purchased a HKS GTSS turbo kit through greenline, I received a letter from the customs place at Granville saying I had to show how much I payed for what was in the box and also what was it exactly. I showed them my Greenline receipt, which was $3400 ($3150ish for turbos and $250ish for shipping). I was charged 10%GST on the turbo's and then on the shipping. SO added up to a $330 bill plus a $48 fee from customs. So total tax I paid was $380.. which isnt too bad for a turbo kit that i paid $3400 for and retails for $6000 in Australia
