Why there is no landed total

A landed total needs three sourced inputs: the machine price, the ocean freight to the named port, and the duty and VAT assessed by the destination customs. We can source the machine price and the port, and we can quote the freight for a specific unit. We do not publish a fixed freight or tax rate because neither is a quote until the booking and the customs entry are made.

Send the stock number and the destination port and we reply with the FOB price for that unit and a CIF figure within 24 hours. Your clearing agent then confirms the duty and VAT base.

Duty note we hold for South Africa

Excavators enter South Africa under HS 8429.52 (self-propelled, 360-degree revolving) or 8429.59, assessed on the declared CIF value. The rate follows South Africa's annual tariff; confirm the current duty and VAT with a licensed customs agent before payment.

Treat this as the starting point for your broker, not as a final rate. The HS line and the customs valuation decide the base.

Port and documents

Main ports: Durban, Richards Bay, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) and Cape Town. Clearance is handled with your licensed clearing agent; confirm the current import requirements for used machinery before you order.

Export documents include the invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin, issued on request. Confirm the import documents your clearing agent needs before the vessel arrives.
