Ok amount was R170 that I paid DHL.

Not bad at all. Thanks for looking into it for me. Btw, what were the 2 costs at the bottom of the page?

Think they show which is free of imports cost and the balance amount would be charged for.

How much did you pay in Vat and ad valorem duty?

Never imported before and I've been following this article but not sure if it is still relevant today. If someone could please confirm: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/gadgets/98022-smartphone-imports-in-sa-what-you-should-know.html

That amount was the total I had to pay, only xtra was for shipping which was $30 if I'm correct.

Has anyone checked out the Indian Xiaomi store? I ended up going crazy there and items were delivered to my forwarding address the next day.

Prices are pretty good, plus plenty stock of mi boxes.

My Mi 9T is showing the Miui 12 update this morning. Will install at my desk later today.

EDIT: Update must have been pulled back as it is no longer available to my device

Updated mine last night. Quite nice.
It also showed no updates available via settings, but was showing it as a notification. When I pressed the notification it allowed me to update.

Xiaomi temporarily halts MIUI 12 rollout for the Mi 9T in several regions

The Mi 9T has received several MIUI 12 updates as it was one of the first phones to get a taste of MIUI 12. Owners of the phone in some regions will now have to wait a while for their next update, however, as Xiaomi has temporarily halted the MIUI 12 rollout for the phone.

^ probably the reason why the update isn't showing anymore

Miui 12 for Mi 9T rolling out again. Updated. Not bad tweaks.

2 annoyances: The white line at the bottom of the screen (managed to disable it) and slightly related, they've changed the switch apps on screen gesture which is going to take some getting used to (used to be swipe, hold, let go // now it is swipe up and sideways)
