Tire Rack

  Top of Page

For those of you who have bought tyres from Tire Rack, I want to be clear about the $1000 limit before you have to pay tax and duty. Is the freight cost included in the $1000?

So for example, if I buy 4 tyres which cost $900 and then I pay $267 freight making the total cost $1167, will I be over the $1000 limit or not?

Also can anyone recommend a good 18 x 8 wheel for a gen 4 liberty?

i haven't bought tyres from tire rack, but imported a few stuffs around the same $ value.
freight cost is service charge, therefore it's not calculated as taxable inward goods. yes you pay for the service, but you're not importing it. only the tyres are being imported.

to put into perspective, my cousin bought a set of wheels from japan @ $925, shipping was $230. he didn't pay tax over tax over tax because the wheels are below $1000. hope that makes sense.
