Hi Guys ive been waiting for Mintys now for 3 months to import toyo R888 315/30/20 tires but it seems they just talk and every month its the same old "it will be here next month" story..

Does anyone here have a connection who can import these tires from Germany or Australia? Duties etc? Special permits? What do I need?

Please help!

i took the last 4 they had 3 months ago
 
A) u must a import SARS customs code
B) u must phone SABS/NCRS in PTA and apply for a import permit
i) u must explain these tyres are for Motorsport use. I.e semi slicks
ii) if necessary send them ur MSA license(not required)
iii) letter if need be why u need to import I.e no local stock, blah, blah
C) SABS/NCRS will issue a permit to this effect, if u have the necessary make, size, manufacturer, thread pattern, dot or E mark approval from supplier etc...form I think is MA38B or A needs to be completed or both Not sure.

NCRS should have a list or homologated tyre, makes, size, importer, s just check before hand with them. If they have on there list apply for only 3-4 tyres max.

I don't think you should have a problem getting the permit issued, but, 1st time is a ball ache, cause I think u need to register your company or entity importing requesting the permit first, then easy to get when u want to import again

I'm going to there this week if I can to renew my permits, so I can find out for you or phone them directly. Ask for vehicle Automotive regulatory division they will help u.

Ask them exactly what is required, as u will need to get some info on the tyres u want to import

If youre only bringing in 1 set for your car, cant you just purchase the tires from whatever overseas company and ship them across. there will be a +-30% customs duty to pay when it lands, but thats it.

- your agent used car rims to clear and you were lucky-

- Impossible, the tariff heading calls for SABS permit, so if you cleared this, and went through, you just as lucky.

Permit is required, Ive been a customs broker for now 22 years, so I speak out of experience

All I can say is...do it properly or SARS will fk u over ...properly
