30 December 2025 – With the anticipated high volume of traveller and trade movement expected as holidaymakers return, particularly through land border posts, airports, and harbours, we encourage both traders and travellers to leverage pre-clearance processes. By utilising the traveller online declaration system, traders and travellers can declare their goods in advance.
This approach makes it easier for both traders and travellers to meet their legal obligations while creating a seamless process at border points.
Using the traveller online declaration system can significantly reduces waiting and queuing times at ports of entry.
The SARS Traveller Declaration system can be accessed here.
The above Traveller Declaration system can also be accessed via the SARS eFiling MobiApp.
There will also be dedicated officials on the ground to assist with this process.
Your compliance is appreciated in maintaining seamless border operations.
