Phones and electronics are vat on 110% the ZAR value at time of clearance.

I paid R580 in duties for the MI 9 se. It came via DHL. Gearbest will declare it as a multimedia player, so expect the same

Don't think you will get the 128GB for under R6000. Best I could find for the 64GB is this

The day I got my 128GB, $448 (phone, insurance and shipping) amounted to R6349. I don't know if Gearbest's currency converter uses realtime spot rates, because the app converted the phone's price to 6.6k.

Saw on Amazon about R8000 landed.

So under R7000 good but gearbest never guaranteed. Amazon at least guaranteed.
