Customs Registration, Licensing and Designation

4 August 2023 – SARS would like to exchange declaration information electronically with other government agencies (OGAs) when imported or exported goods have been detained for inspection by them. When applying for an importer or exporter client types these applicants are therefore required to:

• Grant SARS consent; or
• Refuse consent.

The facility codes used in Box 30 on the Customs Clearance Declaration (CCD) have been updated to change the name Gridrod SA (Pty) Ltd. to Grindrod SA (Pty) Ltd.
