Stainless Steel Original Exhaust System

[lambs]

For comparison, Tranzac have quoted me $1300 delivered (Melbourne) for a 4->2 system in mild steel, so around $2K for a system in stainless is a good price.

OFX is showing AUD1760 for Euro1070

......but that's plus GST, of course, and maybe duty.   There will almost certainly be processing fees as well.   There's a calculator here:

https://www.wwcf.com.au/customs-duty-import-goods-and-service-tax-calculator/

It assumes a 5% duty rate, but that may not be applicable. 

There's an explanation here about GST, duty, etc on imported goods valued over $1K

https://www.wwcf.com.au/customs/

.....this particular firm charges $139+GST to do the customs clearance (just a random selection from a quick google search).   In theory it's possible to do your own customs clearance but they have moved to an electronic system, which requires registration and in practice things are not so simple.

I'd say you'll be lucky to get away with $2K per system.

There's only 2 ways to avoid these extra charges:

- Heinz supplies an invoice with each system that has a conversion value of less <$1K inc shipping (risky.......)
- Heinz agrees to 'split ship' the exhaust systems, ie 'half' the exhaust is shipped with an invoice for half the value...then the rest of the exhaust is shipped with an invoice for the other half (has other risks......).

....all of which is asking a lot of Heinze + you didn't hear it from me 

I did the 'split shipment' thing once for a rare Guzzi exhaust system from the US, so it can be done.

All up that converts to approx $AU 1726 delivered. Not bad, If I had an exhaust that needed replacing I'd go for it. Fortunately for me I don't need one.

I heard back from Heinz

"Hello Christian, post coast 110€      heinz"

That's very cheap for shipping this sort of item from Europe 

I regularly ship parts from a specialist in Germany that charges 40Euro for up to 20kg via DHL who they have a contract with.    They aren't registered for GST (yet....) so as long as the value of the goods+shipping is <AUD1K there is no GST.     36Euro for the exhaust would be cheap.....

Once the declared value inc shipping goes over AUD1K, normal GST/duty rules apply and that's always been the same.   The GST change in 2018 was only about goods with a declared value <AUD1K.

That was a while ago so may have increased now, I will get onto Heinz and see if he can get an idea of postage.
Also it was through regular post not a courier company.

I've indicated my interest for an RH specific system directly to you but will also send an email to the other addresses listed.

GST will be payable on the system cost + shipping charges.   I'm guessing around 1100Euro+GST shipped, but will depend on whether the post system is used or a courier.   I assume the latter would be preferred, in which case all taxes and any other import charges due will be collected by the courier before delivery

Since the system cost alone is well over the AUD1K 'low value' import limit, duty might also be payable.    I'm not sure.   Maybe someone that bought a system previously can comment.

Last time they were ordered the total including postage was 995Euro but since then the GST rules have come in.

Remember send me, Mal and Heinz an email with Exhaust as the subject.
Mal is keen to get this rolling so actual numbers are what is needed also emails so that Heinz can respond.
System is 960Euro plus postage (which was not too much) and GST at this end.
Anyone doing a full resto or just want their bikes with a factory exhaust this is a must.

Email to these 3 please.

Heard from Heinz, 960Euro and postage.

[Clutch]

Hi all, I did reply awhile back about this I still want one system and if it helps to bring the price down I may order two

[xtian]

What sort of $$ Christian?

Not sure as the numbers determine the price but I'd say with delivery and GST maybe $1700 or a bit less, just a wild guess. I think from memory the last lot were 950Euro delivered to the door.

Hi everyone we are trying to work out numbers who want to get one of the Heinz Wyes stainless exhaust systems.
So far 3 blokes want them and the more that are ordered the less they cost.
Last time we ordered 6 sets and a combined money transfer was sent through with no problems using HiFX their rates were very good compared to others and easy to deal through.
The order will probably go in this month so let us know if you are interested. Speak now!!!
You can see the previous post about the exhaust system details or call Mal Pitman ask him what they are like.
I spoke to Heinz and he is happy to make more for Australia 

You can email me c.c.l.raith@gmail.com  or Mal Pitman mpi91334@bigpond.net.au
