SARS fighting clothing and textile smuggling

In simple terms if it’s a real bargain it may be illegally smuggled into this country. Beware of unrealistic bargains. If it’s too good to be true it usually is.

Undervalued imports of clothing and textiles continue to damage the South African economy. Here are some of the things we are doing:

• We are introducing a new integrated border management tool.
• We are increasing our inspection capability.
• We are pursuing a common customs working philosophy across Africa.

So help us to fight tax crime in South Africa. If you would like to report non-compliance click here.

When they’re not paying their taxes its South Africa that suffers.
