South African customs regulations
When moving goods to South Africa it is important to know that your goods must be cleared for entry by South African Customs and SARS service. We will undertake this formality on your behalf as part of our service. You are required to provide a copy of your passport and visa(s) and complete a DA 304 and P.1.160 Customs and Excise document. We will submit these document to Customs together with your inventory of goods being shipped.
As a general rule you are able to import your used personal effects and household goods into South Africa without having to pay any customs duty and tax provided you have owned and used your goods for 6 months. Returning residents must have also been outside of South Africa for an unbroken period of 6 months.
If you include any alcohol and tobacco products in your shipment you will have to pay import duty and tax on them. There are also very tight controls around restricted and prohibited goods such as drugs, firearms, weapons, food, articles manufactured from wildlife. Please be aware that some goods are completely banned while others may require special permits or licences for importation.
It is important to be fully aware of the requirements, thus it is essential to visit South African Customs and SARS to obtain up to date detailed information.
