Hi,

I am looking at importing handmade goods from Kenya to sell in South Africa. I have a few queries that I need help with.

The supplier in Kenya is keen to use the postal service. However, I am worried about whether I will ever receive the goods. Would it be possible to arrange insurance? Who would I approach regarding insurance.

What import duty would the goods be subject to?

Can someone confirm that that I would have to pay VAT on the goods?

Has anyone dealt with reliable and cheap shipping company to import goods?

Would I need to get an import permit?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
