Customs Clearing
Clearing Agent in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town
A licensed customs clearing agent declares your goods to SARS, pays the duty and VAT on your behalf and gets the cargo released.
What We Do
What a Clearing Agent Does
Every commercial shipment that enters or leaves South Africa must be declared to SARS Customs. The declaration sets the tariff code, the customs value and the origin, and that decides the duty and import VAT.
We prepare and submit the declaration, answer queries from Customs, book inspections when goods are stopped and arrange collection and delivery once they are released.
