Customs cargo delays at Lebombo border post

16 September 2022 – SARS is aware of the current cargo delays at Lebombo border post. The delays are as a result of the implementation of the new Temporary Import Permit (TIP) payment system. Even though transporters were given sufficient notice to comply with the new requirements (e.g. cash not accepted anymore), measures are being implemented to speed up the process and engagements with Mozambique are being initiated to resolve the issues. Please note that no transporters without cashless activation should enter the N4 beyond last tollgate to avoid long standing times.
