Ordering from Tyga - import taxes?

[Chancebmx25]

he-ya does anybody know when you import shit from tyga performance right..... it takes a few days or so to get here, weeks maybe but do you get charged import tax? or does it come straight to your door and are you like 'oh wow' my product... ??? or do you get that letter in the mail saying, your shit has arrived please pay us 100 or so dollars for nothing and we will send it to you. Happy?

So yeah answers to this would be much appreciated.

Cheers

This question has been asked and answered a bunch of times before: basically i believe there is no import duty, but if the revenue to the gubblemunt is over $50 then GST will be levied. so if your landed cost in nzd is $400 and under you were fine, more than $400 you got taxed. (so your parcel attraced duty of $50 on $400 WHEN THE GST RATE WAS 12.5%. If that still applies then the amount you can spend is less, unless the threshold is adjusted. have a look at the customs website, its bound to be in an FAQ

Goods subject to GST and import duty
Goods mailed into New Zealand may be subject to goods and services tax (GST) of 15%, based on the real or assessed value of the goods, and including the postal charges.

The goods may also be subject to import duty. Import duties are calculated on the real or assessed value of the goods in New Zealand dollars.

Goods liable for duty and GST of more than NZ$60 cannot be released until the charges are paid.

There will also be an import entry transaction fee (IETF) of $25.30 (including GST) and a MAF Biosecurity risk-screening levy of $12.77 (including GST).

Bike parts have no duty associated, so it is just the GST on the goods value + freight. If this is less than $60 you don't pay anything. If it is over $60 you pay the GST plus another $38 for the extra fees.

So, if your goods + shipping = NZ$400 (at their exchange rate (http://www.customs.govt.nz/news/utilities/Pages/Rates-Of-Exchange.aspx)) then that is all you pay.

Add $1 more however and you end up paying NZ$499 :shit:

OH MAN! I want those Honda wing kick plates!

I was thinking of getting VFR milled into the stock ones, but those wings look sick!

Iv never been charged for Duty, my max buy was $500 NZ, and I just spent about $1000 on a full race exhaust system from Tyga, so in about 4 days Ill find out if I get it or not without having to pay,
It took me 4 days to get my last Tyga stuff ($300 including shipping)

Theres a difference between a high performance 250 and a 250. Like ur ninjas and slow shitty cbrs as imdying would personally say. Lol

a 2stroke is all good,

But you have to be able to ride.

Your like a harley rider, you have got yourself a sad looking beat up smoker, and you think you know everything, I have gone over a few threads now where you have spitted your shit not actually knowing a thing,

What is the definition of a high performance 250?
^^ answer me that please.

Lol judgemental much?? Ive worked with nothing but two strokes, and comming from motox yeah i have got that attitude to just wanting to go nuts if u knw wat i mean. But my two strokes definetly not beAtn up so u obviously dnt knw wat ur talking about. I consider a high performance 250 something that needs to be looked after, unlike your 250 ninjas that you just ride. Nothing but ride. How boring.. Compared to a two stroke 250 which is capable of alot more but at the same time it needs a high level of maintenece. You cant just go to the track, thrash it and not expect something to go on it. So they need a close eye. They have fragile motors, u could take ur ninja to the track and plow around on that maybe wearing your tyres a lil at the most seeing the bike isnt capable of much but commuting. Its pretty logical. But i defintely know what im doing with my bike i wouldnt just buy a two stroke for nothing. All my two stroke mx's went and looked nuts and so will my rgv.

I love how you assume I have a ninja,

If I didnt just hand the keys over to my CBR, I would put money on the fact your little 2 stroke wouldnt get round a track quicker than me on my 4stroke 38..8HP High performance CBR 250, put someone who can actually ride a bike, and not just ride it in a straight line on a 2stroke and it becomes a true power house, put some muppet who thinks he knows how to ride, and you get a flop.


And [/] So you clearly dont know that much, as you have just admitted you have only worked with 2strokes.

LMAO. uh huh so a 2 stroke is the only thing thats defined as a performasnce machine huh?
at the dyno day here in dunedin there was a zx12 with nos that spewed out 220- something horsepower at the rear wheel. is that just a shitty commuter with no performance?
How about my R1, is that just a shitty gutless commuter?

An engine that needs to be fixed almost every time you ride it is NOT a 'performance' engine, its a half fucked piece of shit. How can it perform at all, if you spend more time in the shed sticking it back together with gaffer tape and blue tack than actually riding it?

are you moronic enough to think that in 2011, it still isnt possible to create an engine that has both good performance AND reliability as hallmarks of of itself?

Obviously you are another big tough young buck with a 15 inch cock who knows everything about bikes, and everyone else is wrong.

I would love to continue having a battle of wits with you in regard to motorcycles, but having a battle of wits with you would mean Im fighting an essentially unarmed person, which seems a little unfair.

ome back for a chat when you have some real experience with motorcycles, have learned a thing or two, and have opened your mind beyond the extent of your own ego.

Lol man u needa chill, i wasnt assuming u owned a 250 ninja i was using it as a broad example with 250's in general. Yer i admit i know fuck all about 4's and u knew that, but what im saying is i know my two strokes and u still accusing me of not. I never assumed u owned a ninja. And i never bought anything uhp about racing man, there was nothing about my rgv burning rings around ur cbr so i dnt knw wea thats come from. If u think a lil all im saying is a nice 250 2 stroke deserves to spent on, its capable of alot more then ur everyday 250, i didnt ask for a war. And u very well will prob burn me on the track in ur cbr but then i could turn around say the same if i were on my kx125 i would easily burn rings around u if u had a yzf250 or something similar. Hope u understand that. Forget wat i say in other post i may js flapple on about things sometimes bt wen im serious like now its diff story and u were judging me. Admit it!

Ill judge you know, seeming as you have this strong feeling that I have,

Here is what I have gathered from you so far,
Your ego is about to pop out of your chest, its bulging at the seams, you actually know about as much as a honey bee, and a retarded circus monkey on crack could type better responses that actually make sense, the only ring your gonna be burning around anything will be an o-ring in your more than likely poorly maintained chain.

I admit it, I just judged you.

[Chancebmx25]

Chur.:shit:

Bro i dont knw what ur one but when did r1's and zx12's every come into play read the post man wea discussing shit between 250's how a 2stroke 250 outperforms ur everyday commuting 250. Man i dnt wanna argue with u lol i dnt knw wat ur om about, im on iphone that txt was just too much. Come on man give it a break. Where talking 250's here stop makng it out as if sayn other shit.

Algood Now before we all go off flaming up the thread wat was our main point here trying to prove again. What am i trying to say and prove? Answer please.

[Chancebmx25]

Basicly that your a muppet, which you seemed to prove pretty well.

See no. Wrong! What just because i consider my 250 as high performance? Okay reall smart man. Its like saying a motox china 110cc bike is better then a rm85 because its more cc. Thats how ur lookinh at things bro. Why cant u accept that 250 two strokes will always be faster. Yer they require maintence but isnt that like every other high performance bike. Dnt tell me the cunts in the gp arnt always eyeing up their bikes.... Seriously man explain??? Did i even ask for an argument.

You are insisting that anything that is a performance engine requires constant maintenance. I simply pointed out a couple of bikes that are a) not 2 strokes and b) DONT require constant maintenance, which, as you infer, is a prerequisite for a bike to be classed as a performance bike.
and define 'perform'. you are addressing a basic concept without making any effort to define the actual meaning of what you are trying to say, because you are discussing terms and concepts that are outside the understanding of your mind.

Plenty of four stroke 250's go like stink. As you yourself admit, you know nothing about four strokes, and have never had one, thus you have zero basis from which to ascertain or suggest that 2 strokes are in any way, or outright, superior machines.

Perhaps if you were to go about your life, and take a more humble stance, and take the opportunity to absorb information about concepts, engines and all things of which you have no knowledge, you will be standing on a better platform from which to voice your opinions. But until such time as you have gained at least a basic understanding of the considerably wider world of motorycles than your currently 2-stroke limited understandings, you should really avoid making such broad and proud statements as the ones you have inferred or outright claimed true.

[Chancebmx25]

Yer i admitted that, but like i said whats that got to do with me not knowing anything about my bike? And that its beaten up? Nothing aye? So that was js flaming for nothing aye? Lol come on 'bro' im nt here to start shit. But then aye like i said i could smoke u if u were on a yzf250 and me on a rm85 or kx125 i know how u ride makes a big difference. Farr man.

[tigertim20]

any way Im off to bed, because as they say, theres no point in arguing with a moron, because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

[QUOTE=tigertim20;[/QUOTE] i know what your saying man i accept wat ur saying but overall as a whole any bike that gets thrashed like fuck and races like fuck wether it be 1000cc or a 250cc Will always require some level of maintenece. That wat i was trying to get at. But with something being of greater performance it may very well need more. No motor is built to be revved at 20000rpms.
Im nt arguing hea man.

So in the end its a pointless argument. We proved nothing. Theres nothing wrong about the fact that something with such performance will require some level of maintence. Whatever bike it be. U cant say after a track day u wouldnt be looking over ur bike. Obviously those of more power may be of some more requirement. if u really wanted to get into things u cant really say somethings of high performance becos no motor is built to be redlined like shit blasting itself at 20000 rpms or wat not. Even an r1 or a dodge tomahawk or something intense.

So to add to that its like 250 stock compared to a race 250 obviously the race 250 requires more attention u wouldnt leave it unattended compared to ur stock 250 but wen u whey it uhp....both motors are the same, lets say wea talking two mc19's a race and a stock, the race havn wat bigger carbs with airbox mod or some shit. Both motors will still have the same threshold proving that if u were gna get right into things then no motor is of high performance as they will in the end reach the same threshold. Itd be the same if u were working with bigger bikes. The piston will on move for so long no matter how much other shit u do.

[eelracing]

Fuckem' Chance and the fat diesels they road in on...a young fella taking the time these days to ride and fettle a two stroke road bike should be admired,stick to your guns.

Next time any bus driver gives you shit about it just tell them your RGV makes 215BHP per litre (and that was 20+ years ago now)something modern day thous still get nowhere near.If they look at you all funny like just explain to them nicely that it makes for a more fun ride.

I found the RC164 and some turbo CBR, but neither seemed to last for very long. I can forgive the RC, it's a GP bike after all.

Would definitely like an RC164 rep with a CBR engine in it, wouldn't be that fast, but still very cool.
