Suit for a blue werewolf
Some may know this and some may not, but I am getting a suit made by Luno Vulpes.
Head is done so far.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the full thing.
Since he's in Texas I assume you'll be shipping it in?

Depending on the camera angle, he looks quite mischievous.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Right. So just got over my heart attack.
Fursuits have a 40% import duty, plus 14% VAT, because SA is protectionist when it comes to clothes. To protect the local industry, apparently.
Plushies, on the other paw, just have the 14% VAT applied.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Wow. Forty percent of a fursuit cost is quite substantial.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Can't it be marked as something other than clothing?
I doubt that customs would know what it even is.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Also, "local industry".
The few clothes that are South African made are expensive and of poor quality.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Well now that is an interesting point! Anyone ever try to ship it as a "life sized plush toy" or "satyrical taxidermy display"?

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Not sure about the legalities, but what if it was a gift instead of a purchase? I mean, I'm sure they won't question it...
And 40%...

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
They can't justify charging that much for importing something that can't realistically be made in SA... I would contest it.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Contest SARS. Haha. You know that SARS rulings are appealed only to SARS, right? Courts have almost no jurisdiction over them. And it's actually low. Almost all other items of clothing is at 45% duties.
Seriously though, the government's answer would be:
1) It creates local jobs, due to the import tariffs.
2) Importing things is a capital ouflow, which affects our trade deficit.
3) It's money into the national fiscus.
4) Whether it's fair or not, it's the law and have to be followed, since it's applied without discrimination of any kind.
There's no downside to it for the government, and only upsides. My feelings is of no concern to them. After all, I can simply live without it.
(Sorry if I sound a little unhappy here)

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Perhaps it would turn out cheaper to fly over with a near-empty suitcase and fly back with it. You could say you're a semi-pro performer for children's parties and that it's your tool of the trade.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
Flying there and back (international and local flights) would be at least $2000.
I don't think that it's worth it.
Also, I image that the suit is quite bulky. That doesn't really work when flying.

Hence the suitcase. Also, I was clearly joking.

Re: Suit for a blue werewolf
In my experience, travelling fursuiters use vac-bags to squish their body suits & padding down to manageable sizes. My one friend brought two of his suits to Confuzzled this way, no problems.

Have you ever had an experience with the TSA?Contrast wrote:But what if he wore the suit back?
I once saw them molest a woman in front of me.
They seriously stuck their hands down her pants, despite her many protests.
