Question Customs duty due?

A bit OT...
If the aircraft is scrapped in Johannesburg it is finally imported to South Africa. Would BA to have the obligation to pay customs duty and/or VAT, based on the value the aircraft depicted at the time it was flown into the Country?
I just remember a similar case. We crashed a car in Italy and the remains were for the scarpyard only. Italian officials wanted me to pay the customs duty based on the value when the car was "imported". We decided to bring the wreck home.
